Meet our FEI Mentors

This high-calibre group is the lifeblood of the FEI organisation.  We're grateful for their generosity and commitment.

We are grateful to the following CFOs who volunteer their expertise as an FEI Mentor

FEI Mentors are Group CFOs or, on occasion, Deputy CFOs and Divisional CFOs for major companies.  They may also have experience as CEO, COO, or company director.  FEI Mentors are committed to providing support to the next generation of finance executives and enjoy the impact they can have through the program.
