We are thrilled to announce that Tal Volok, Chief Financial Officer at Evalueserve, has been honored with a CFO100 Award at the annual CFO100 Programme for his outstanding 'Winning Edge in Collaboration'. This prestigious recognition celebrates Tal's significant contributions to financial leadership and his innovative approach to cross-functional partnerships.
The CFO100 Programme annually recognizes the top 100 senior finance professionals in India who have made a difference with their acumen, attitude, and leadership. Tal's recognition in the 'Winning Edge in Collaboration' category underscores his exceptional ability to work closely with the Board, other CXOs, Business Heads, and partners to achieve desired results for stakeholders.
Since joining Evalueserve in September 2021, Tal has spearheaded several initiatives that have transformed the finance function into a strategic partner for the entire organization. His collaborative approach to financial leadership is characterized by three key principles:
- Strategic Alignment: Tal ensures that financial goals are in sync with overall organizational objectives, creating a unified focus across the company.
- Cross-functional Communication: By breaking down silos, Tal has fostered better understanding and cooperation across departments, enabling more informed decision-making at all levels.
- Balancing Control and Enablement: Tal maintains robust financial governance while empowering business units to make timely, data-driven decisions.
Tal's innovative approach to finance leadership has yielded significant results for Evalueserve. Under his guidance, the company has seen improved operating performance across business units, enhanced pricing and commercial strategies, and productivity gains in investments.
One of Tal's key initiatives has been the restructuring of the finance and legal organization with well-defined responsibilities and deliverables. This restructuring has better aligned the finance function with the business, creating dedicated business finance teams to ensure each business owner has a finance point of contact.
Tal has also championed financial literacy across the organization, implementing training programs to enhance understanding of financial concepts among non-finance teams. This initiative has greatly improved collaboration between finance and other departments, leading to more strategic decision-making throughout the company.
Furthermore, Tal has been instrumental in establishing new functions including business finance, internal audit, and an investment board. By putting the right leadership in place for each of these functions, he has strengthened Evalueserve's financial oversight and strategic capabilities.
Tal's collaborative leadership style extends beyond the finance function. He has invested considerable time and energy in leveling up the financial understanding across the executive leadership team, focusing on key drivers that enable them to deliver on their financial commitments.
The CFO100 award serves as a testament to Tal's innovative and collaborative approach to financial leadership. It underscores the importance of breaking down silos, fostering cross-functional partnerships, and aligning financial strategies with overall business objectives.
At Evalueserve, we're proud of Tal's achievement and the recognition it brings to our commitment to financial excellence and collaborative leadership. As we continue to evolve and innovate in the finance function, we remain dedicated to driving value for our stakeholders through strategic financial management and cross-functional collaboration.
Tal's recognition in the CFO100 Programme not only celebrates his individual achievement but also highlights Evalueserve's commitment to fostering a culture of collaboration and strategic financial leadership. We look forward to continuing this journey of innovation and excellence under Tal's guidance.
