                <![CDATA[ After more than three decades in mining and 13 years as CFO of Sibanye-Stillwater, Charl Keyter has learnt that resilience is more than weathering downturns.

Joy Malete, regional finance director for Africa, Middle East and Asia Emerging at Sage, explains why finance leaders must balance innovation with governance, invest in strong data foundations and embrace technology as a strategic driver of resilience, insight and long-term business growth.
