In the follow up to our podcast covering Swinkels working capital transformation, Eleanor takes a deeper dive into the project, recruiting Group Treasurer Mathieu Ummelen to explain what seamlessly balancing liquidity, resilience, and supplier relationships looks like in practice.
Joined by BNP Paribas' Anastasia Batyshkina, Mel Yucel and Nagan Nguyễn-Hansen, the conversation explores why working capital is no longer just about unlocking trapped cash, but fortifying resilience. Our guests discuss the ways in which treasury teams are responding to an increasingly uncertain operating environment, rethinking traditional trade finance, and using more accurate visibility to make smarter liquidity decisions.
