Season 4 Episode 11: Value Creation in Transforming Industries

Not all growth creates value.

And in industries under structural pressure, that distinction matters more than ever.

In this episode of Alchemy Uncensored, Conor McHugh is joined by Laura Herbin Milhiet, Group CFO at OSN, one of the Middle East’s leading premium entertainment platforms.

With over 20 years of international experience across Europe, the US, Asia, and the Middle East, Laura has been at the centre of navigating transformation in industries that are constantly evolving.

This conversation focuses on what value creation actually looks like when business models are shifting, and what it takes to build disciplined, high-performing organisations in that environment.

Because the reality is, transformation is not just about strategy.

It is about execution, governance, and alignment at the top.

From the CEO–CFO partnership to the role of Boards and operating rhythm, this episode brings together the elements that sit behind real performance.

What you will hear in this episode:

📌 What shareholder value looks like in industries under pressure

📌 The importance of governance and relevant Boards

📌 What makes an organisation efficient and data-driven

📌 Why the CEO–CFO partnership is critical in transformation

📌 How to build disciplined, high-performance organisations
