Tagetik, a provider of performance management software solutions with headquarters in Connecticut, recently hosted a webinar entitled “Is It Time For Progressive CFOs To Trust The Cloud With Critical Financial Information?” This was the fourth presentation in Tagetik’s Progressive CFO monthly series. Interviewed for the webinar was Guillaume Bazetoux, head of finance at Aperam, a stainless steel manufacturer with branches in North and South America, on the decision to migrate the $5.5 billion USD company’s global consolidation and finance reporting to Tagetik’s cloud-based performance management solution.
Bazetoux has held a range of senior finance positions in the steel industry for more than 25 years. From 2001 to 2010, he served as vice president of finance and business development at Arcelor Stainless International Asia Pacific and then as CFO of ArcelorMittal Stainless Steel Division. When the Stainless Division was spun off from ArcelorMittal to form Aperam in 2011, Bazetoux became Aperam’s head of finance. Aperam, a global player in stainless steel, electrical, and specialty steel, has about 9,400 employees and operations in 30 countries. The company has six main production facilities in Brazil, Belgium, and France.
