𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀. This week, the NeuGroup team came together in New York City for our July all-staff meeting, with colleagues from across the country joining both in person and virtually. It was a great opportunity to reconnect, collaborate cross-functionally, welcome new colleagues and align on what's ahead. One highlight was hearing from Ron Chakravarti, who challenged us to think even more intentionally about how NeuGroup can (and will) deliver greater enabled outcomes for our members—transforming validated insights into measurable impact for finance leaders around the world. As a company built on the power of peer connections, we know investing in our own relationships makes us better equipped to serve our members. From productive breakout sessions to conversations over coffee and dinner, the meeting reinforced that our best ideas come from working together. Thank you to everyone who made the week productive, engaging and fun. We're heading into the second half of the year energized, aligned and excited for what's next! #NeuGroup #Teamwork #Leadership #CompanyCulture #Collaboration #Finance #Treasury

AI, Trade Finance and a New Reality for Treasury in Latin America At NeuGroup's recent Latin America Treasury meeting in São Paulo, members tackled two key issues reshaping treasury operations: Brazil's new digital receivables registry is bringing greater transparency to trade finance—but also creating new operational requirements for corporate treasury teams. As one member put it: "In Brazil, if you pay wrong, you pay twice." AI is still hitting a data wall. While members are seeing success with targeted use cases like legal document review and bank forecasting tools, predictive cash forecasting remains constrained by fragmented connectivity with regional banks and manual payment processes. The discussion reinforced a familiar theme: AI is only as powerful as the data and infrastructure behind it.

Treasury earns a strategic seat at the table by mastering the operational details first. In a new video clip from an upcoming episode of the #StrategicFinanceLab podcast, Lam Research Treasurer Adam King shares how treasury can become a trusted business partner—not by waiting for problems, but by preventing them. As Lam expanded globally, treasury got involved early to streamline banking, KYC, cash management and credit planning, eliminating bottlenecks that could delay growth. One example: by partnering with the supply chain team to proactively manage supplier credit limits, treasury helped prevent shipment disruptions before they happened. The takeaway? Operational excellence isn't just about efficiency—it's what builds credibility, strengthens cross-functional partnerships and enables treasury to influence strategic decisions. "Focusing on operations and efficiency and controls is a foundation. It builds credibility and gets you a seat at the table." - Adam King, Treasurer, Lam Research #Treasury #RiskManagement #WorkingCapital #WCM #CashManagement #Leadership #StrategicFinance #CFO
