Today I have Toby Shore on the podcast. Toby is the treasurer at Emirates Global Aluminium. It's a merger of the two largest aluminium businesses in the Emirates. I want to have him as a global citizen and someone who moved around and as someone who has interesting things in his career.
In this episode we discuss:
- What brought Toby to the treasury
- The highlights of his career
- Similarities, differences, and the changes from a treasury perspective across the various industries
- His learnings from working in different jurisdictions
- The challenge in moving in Dubai
- His approach to networking throughout his career
- His perspective about mentors
- What he wishes he had known at the start of his career
- What he looks for people when hiring
- What makes a successful treasury in the eyes of the executives
- How Toby sees the role of the treasury changing in terms of advancing technology
