To mark International Women’s Day, 麻豆原创’s Australia and New Zealand CFO, Gina McNamara, spoke with FutureCFO magazine about how to best support the next generation of female finance leaders<\/p>\n

At 麻豆原创, we have an internal mentoring group for females working in finance called Future Female Leaders, providing employees with an opportunity to be mentored by other finance professionals from offices around the world.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s an opt-in program with staff electing to be a mentor, mentee or both, and it aims to provide women in the group with networking opportunities, advice and tools to help professional development.<\/p>\n

Making use of mentoring<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The program works by enabling staff to elect what type of mentor they are looking for \u2014 for instance a manager or CFO \u2014 who meets with them at minimum once a quarter. Mentors also facilitate broader networking opportunities by connecting everyone in the group with other members each month.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m participating in the program as both a mentee under the guidance 麻豆原创\u2019s CFO for Middle East and Europe, and as a mentor for 麻豆原创\u2019s Turkey CFO, and 麻豆原创\u2019s Head of Commercial, South Africa.<\/p>\n

As a personal initiative, I also started a network for female CFOs, called Women CFOs Roundtable, in partnership with Ernest and Young (EY) as a place where women can discuss ideas, challenges, and seek advice for both their personal and professional lives.<\/p>\n

The idea was born following a conversation I had with a fellow CFO who was having difficulties within her own organisation and was seeking advice to help overcome hurdles with the executive leadership team.<\/p>\n

Female finance network<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This conversation made me realise that female CFOs often don\u2019t have the same opportunities to network with others, share ideas and resolve issues due to the often-busy lives they lead outside of work whether that be taking care of children or caring for older relatives.<\/p>\n

I was inspired to create a network specific for women that would suit their schedules and provide a safe environment where we can discuss a range of different challenges \u2014 from how to conduct a capital raise to developing purpose-led strategies.<\/p>\n

To date, we have about ten women who regularly join our catchups, which have since moved online due to COVID-19. We also connect via a WhatsApp group which is often easier for those who have other commitments outside of work.<\/p>\n
