As an Executive MBA candidate, you’re preparing to lead in a world defined by rapid technological change. While the AI revolution is often described in terms of data and algorithms, there’s a third, often invisible force powering it: Finance. Acting as the launchpad, infrastructure, and risk manager, finance has become a strategic engine that determines how organisations invest in, implement, and govern AI.
In this engaging EMBA fireside chat event, Associate Professor in Financial Management and Systems, Executive MBA Programme Director at Henley, Dr. Niran Subramaniam, will explore how finance fuels the AI revolution through three critical roles — as a Capital Allocator, an Internal Innovator, and a Risk & Governance Guardian. Niran will explore these three roles through the lens of leading corporations, agile startups, and forward-thinking NGOs, primarily from Europe, the UK, and North America.
This session blends an inspiring keynote with an open discussion, offering Executive MBA candidates the opportunity to engage directly with the themes shaping tomorrow’s leadership agenda.*
Join us in Copenhagen to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives, and explore how finance and leadership intersect in the era of AI.
*In 2026, there will be a new elective available for Henley's Executive MBA students on AI and Financial Technology Strategies.
