Marie Paillard and Grégoire Beaurain talk to us about the DFCG Awards

Marie Paillard, Partner at Grant Alexander – Executive Interim, and Grégoire Beaurain, Director of the Finance Practice at Grant Alexander – Executive Search, two of our finance function experts, reflect on the 2020 edition of the CFO of the Year Trophy and the Young Finance Professional Award, organized by the DFCG, of which we are partners.

From identifying candidates to supporting the nominees for their presentations before the Jury, including the selection process, their role was crucial for both awards.

They recount these different stages, which led to two CFOs being recognized: Eric Heurtaux of Worldline Global for the Trophy and Marie Best, VP Finance at Mirakl, for the Award.

They also share the highlights of this edition and provide their analysis of the key soft skills for this function, which was particularly tested in 2020.
