  Senior director, capital markets Gilead Sciences

  With corporate bond markets currently awash with billions in dollar and euro issuances for big tech companies funding the AI arms race, and magnificent 7 valuations frothy, according to some analysts, many companies are taking a strategic review of their capital structure and debt and equity positions. Treasurers are increasingly involved in strategic conversations with the CFO and senior finance colleagues on financing the business, including bond issuance and loan financing. In wider capital structuring reviews, discussions around debt to equity ratios, rights issues, share buybacks, dividends, and equity can also involve treasury, where cash and balance sheet assets are reviewed. As debt reaches maturity and refinancing and revolvers step up in the 2026 rate environment, the impacts on liquidity and working capital in the business are under scrutiny. In this session, treasurers discuss their roles and activities in the capital structuring review process, their relationships with the CFO and finance teams, and the strategic role that treasury plays in critical decisions around corporate financing to support the business. In the context of AI issuance, treasurers also reflect on the high-rate, high-valuation environment and the broader implications for market liquidity, valuations, and long-term capital allocation trends.

  Treasurers are focussed today on what skills will be needed in the treasury of tomorrow, especially in the era of AI and automation. Such considerations impact the composition of the modern treasury team, with the aim of achieving the optimal balance of skills and experience in finance and technology disciplines. Whilst finance competencies are always core to treasury management, individuals with strong data analytics skills and an aptitude for leveraging AI and machine learning to treasury processes are in high demand. On teams, will consideration to diversity and inclusion be prioritised as in recent years, given the woke backlash? And what of the optimal organisation of teams in terms of remote and office working? In this session, we explore the skills, diversity, and organisation of treasury teams today and how teams will evolve to deliver optimal treasury operations for strategic business growth.

  Artificial intelligence’s principal application in treasury to date is in cash forecasting, or more accurately, in predictive analytics in receivables. By analysing historical payment patterns, AI can predict when payments will be received. Now, a host of cash forecasting modules promise AI-powered forecasts, enhancing accuracy and cash visibility, enabling better liquidity planning and reporting. Treasurers are, however, at very different stages of this AI journey, with some writing macros and Python scripts with the help of Co-Pilot in Excel, whilst others are taking masterclasses in agentic AI to harness the power of ERP AI layers in both back and front office processes. With AI by far the most sought-after new skill for treasury professionals, this session aims to reveal how well AI is working in cash management and forecasting processes, by way of some real-world examples.
