Helen Kane, Managing Director of Hedge Trackers, joins us in this interesting episode to talk about her woman-led and managed business which she uniquely set up 21 years ago.   She also gives us an update on how things have changed within her world and in treasury during this COVID pandemic.    In this episode we discuss:  The story of how she set up her consulting firm 21 years ago and how it has been so topical in 2021.  Changes that Hedge Trackers has gone through over the last 2 years.  The state of Treasury during COVID.  Her approach to networking during this pandemic.  Advantages of flexible work options.  The role of the treasurer and being successful amidst COVID and lockdowns.   

Libor is expected to be phased out by the end of 2021. Alternatives to Libor rates are emerging across the globe and mechanisms for establishing contractual fallbacks and adjustments to Libor-indexed financial instruments are being developed to minimize disruption, if in fact it does end in 2022. If Libor does end, however, the impacts on treasury will be significant. In this episode of AFP Conversations, sponsored by Santander, we’ll talk about what some of the implications could be for treasury and finance professionals, and what they should be doing in case Libor does end. Joining the podcast are Robert Owens, Director of Fixed Income Strategy for Farmer Mac, and Ruth Hardie, Senior Director of Client Services for Hedge Trackers, who both discussed this topic at AFP 2019.
