The Controller role is expanding well beyond financial reporting, with finance leaders increasingly helping shape transformation, technology, talent and enterprise decision-making. In this Controller Agenda webcast, the panel explored what it takes to sustain finance modernization, move AI from experimentation to measurable value, strengthen governance and data foundations, and build the capabilities Controllers need to operate as more strategic business partners.

Saqib Baig, CAO of Peloton Interactive and CFO of Peloton Commercial, and Jeff Sesplankis of Diebold Nixdorf shared real-world perspectives on navigating transformation while running the business—from scaling AI and measuring ROI to balancing controls with innovation, developing finance talent and maintaining momentum through organizational change.
