Upside/Downside - a podcast for Finance Business Partners

Matt Cooley

My name is Matt Cooley, host of the Upside/Downside podcast, where we explore value creation and what it takes to be the best Finance Business Partners possible. I'm a Finance Business Partner myself and fascinated with all the opportunities to make an impact and drive real results. Prepare to meet professionals on the front lines of value creation and hear their stories. Through smart panelists and 1:1 interviews with inspiring professionals, we'll explore the many aspects of being a Finance Business Partner at forward-thinking organizations. Advisory, communications, business models, competition, digitalization, data analytics, risk management, complex regulatory environments, difficult environments, emerging businesses, robots, continuous learning, personal branding and many other topics are all on the table as we explore what it takes to be our best.
