FACCNE ⎮ French-American Chamber of Commerce, New England

🌟 Two great moments from last week with the #FACCFin Forum! 🌟 On Wednesday, April 2, we co-hosted with FEI Boston the insightful panel "The Power of #Fractional Services" — a deep dive into how companies can strategically leverage fractional executives to drive growth, access senior leadership, and remain agile in today’s evolving market. We also explored what it means to build a successful fractional career in the current landscape. The evening continued with a lively cocktail reception, where attendees engaged in active networking and meaningful connections — a true highlight of the night! Then on Friday, April 4, we brought together top finance leaders for an exclusive #CFO Networking Lunch — a private, invitation-only gathering dedicated to CFOs within the French-American business community. The conversation centered on navigating tariffs, financial resilience, and the road ahead in 2025. 💬 A big thank you to all our partners, speakers, guests, and community members for making these events so impactful: - Louise Roussel, Omar Akrout from FACC Fin' for putting these great events together, and KeyBank for supporting them, - Speakers Priya Chanduraj, Terry J.
