Seamus Smith, EVP and Group President of Automated Finance at FIS, and Chrissy Wagner, SVP of GTM at FIS, break down how finance leaders can balance urgent risk management with strategic growth positioning through data quality, automation, and AI. Smith and Wagner reveal that cybersecurity tops the list of CFO concerns, but inefficient processes and lack of visibility into money flows are the real operational killers, particularly as organizations grow through M&A. They explain how FIS helped clients navigate recent tariff disruptions through better data visibility, why paper checks remain one of the biggest fraud vectors in modern finance, how supply chain finance is underutilized in the US compared to Europe, and why AI is already delivering $3.70 in returns for every dollar invested in credit underwriting and collections.","meta_description":"CFOs are abandoning quarterly planning cycles for week-by-week assessments as trade tensions, tariff uncertainty, and supplier volatility force a new shor…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1614,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/tearsheet-podcast-exploring-financial-services-together-463856/episodes/how-cfos-can-regain-strategic-control-in-times-of-economic-volatility-ft-fis-chrissy-wagner-and-seamus-smith/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tearsheet-podcast-exploring-financial-services-together-463856/how-cfos-can-regain-strategic-control-in-times-of-economic-volatility-ft-fis-chrissy-wagner-and-seamus-smith.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
