Ep4: Rhiannon Bryant, Kantar Group: The relationship between AI, data & the future finance function

On our latest episode of Topline Talks we are joined by Rhiannon Bryant, Director of Global FP&A at Kantar.

Having initially completed a degree in graphic design before embarking on a career in finance, Rhiannon takes us through her journey highlighting that you do not need to come through the more traditional routes of finance to have a successful career. Having worked in seven different sectors in her career, our listeners will get a feel for what it means to dip in and out of different industries and the different company cultures that offers.

In this episode Rhiannon talks through the realities of working for highly acquisitive private equity backed companies during challenging times. We touch on the involvement of finance during COVID and other headline news stories, such as their airline strikes and cost of living crisis.

With Kantar being a data specialist business, we talk about the relationship of AI, data, and finance and how the future finance function is likely to look very different in years to come. An exciting subject that is clearly at the forefront of all company discussion at the minute, Kantar are set to be leading the way with some exciting transformation projects on the horizon.

This episode brings some real energy to some hot topics in the current climate – we hope you enjoy!
