The role of an FP&A leader has evolved over the last decade. Over that time, the focus and emphasis has been less around data collection and aggregation, and more around data insights and value-add analysis. The advent of enterprise technology has been able to serve as a catalyst to enable the FP&A function to transform their businesses through more automation, centralization, transparency and master data management.
Markel Corporation, which houses multiple lines of businesses, had been heavily involved in this evolution. As a global multinational insurance organization, they understood the desire to achieve transformation sooner than later. And they decided to start by revamping their entire expense planning, budgeting and forecasting processes by leveraging Anaplan.For this session, we will discuss the evolution and journey that Markel has taken within their various lines of business (P&C, Reinsurance, International, etc.) and deployed a successful implementation of Anaplan within their FP&A organization, and how they were able to solve their data collection challenges.Please join Meredith Albright, Senior Director Financial Planning & Analysis at Markel, who lead their FP&A transformation journey.
