Season 3 Episode 23: Mastering FInance Across Borders & Cultures

What does it take to master finance across borders and cultures? Today’s finance leaders are more than number keepers; they are connectors, strategists, and enablers of global growth.

This week on Alchemy Uncensored, Conor McHugh is joined by Olga Drevina, a global finance leader whose career spans multiple countries, industries, and transformation stories.

Together, they unpack what defines the modern CFO — how the role has evolved beyond traditional boundaries, what it takes to stay close to the core of finance while driving strategy, and how today’s leaders can balance being both visionary and grounded.

Olga also shares her approach to unlocking potential and building high-performing teams: understanding individuals’ strengths and passions, structuring teams for impact, leading as an enabler rather than an expert, and mastering the art of delegation to empower others.

Whether you’re an aspiring finance professional, an experienced leader, or someone navigating an international career path, this episode offers practical wisdom on growth, leadership, and the power of people in finance.
