Game-Changing Line-Up of Speakers Set for Chicago's Working Capital Summit
Taulia's second summit provides unique opportunity for Midwest and East Coast companies to learn about groundbreaking supply chain finance techniques
SAN FRANCISCO, September 13, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The second of Taulia’s two upcoming working capital summits completes its speaker roster as leading practitioners from Global 2000 companies line up to share their unique insights on technology-led working capital optimization. Opened by "the most powerful woman in payments" Elizabeth Buse and featuring working capital expert Andrew Wilson, the summit is set to be a powerful forum for companies across the Midwest and East Coast to learn how to supercharge their own working capital strategies.
With up to $215 billion locked up in working capital in automotive alone according to global advisory PwC, companies across the Midwest and East Coast including automotive, manufacturing and pharmaceutical have the opportunity to free up this cash and put it to work to better compete in the digital age. In hosting the second of its inaugural series of working capital summits, Taulia is helping these companies learn more about this opportunity by connecting them with the leading practitioners in this exciting new field.
Technology is simply a game-changer for anyone looking to optimize working capital. It enables companies to scale programs across their whole supply chain and quickly adjust them in the face of an ever-changing and unpredictable world.

Andrew Wilson, advisor and former working capital lead at pharmaceutical AstraZeneca, commented: “Technology is simply a game-changer for anyone looking to optimize working capital. It enables companies to scale programs across their whole supply chain and quickly adjust them in the face of an ever-changing and unpredictable world.”
