CorpGov hosted the sixth annual Palm Beach CorpGov Forum on Nov. 4-5, 2026, at the Palm Beach Lake Pavilion and The Cove Club, both located waterfront with sweeping views of Palm Beach Island, along with a reception at Cucina Palm Beach. The panel called "Supporting Your CFO in the AI Era" took place on Thursday morning.
The panel featured Karen Walker, CFO at Sysdig, Emma Sissman, Vice President of Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and Candice Wilson, Managing Director, CFO Advisory Practice at EisnerAmper. Katie Creaser, Partner, Technology at ICR, moderated the discussion.
"You cannot measure ROI without visibility," said Karen Walker. "And you can also not provide oversight and governance without understanding where your agents are running, what they're doing."
"From my side, the request would be to fund the mundane," said Candice Wilson. "If you really want to see what can be done in 90 days, what I would really recommend is pick a single process in the business."
"AI adoption moves at a rapid pace, but it also has to be safe," said Katie Creaser. "There's just too much critical data moving around organizations."
