About this Episode
In this episode of FTI Treasury Talks: Conversations with the Experts, we explore foreign exchange risk management, one of the most pressing challenges facing treasury teams operating in today’s unpredictable global markets.
FTI Treasury experts Shane O’Keeffe, Head of Innovation, and Barry Callaghan, Front Office Senior Manager, share their expertise in FX markets, hedging strategy, and treasury technology across complex multinational environments. Together, they examine how organisations can build disciplined, scalable approaches to managing currency risk, and why doing so has become a strategic imperative rather than a back-office function.
The discussion covers practical frameworks for identifying and quantifying FX exposures, selecting the right hedging instruments, and building an FX policy that supports both operational and strategic objectives. This session is particularly relevant for professionals involved in treasury and cash management, financial risk and compliance, CFO and finance leadership, and corporate finance and international operations.

Why FX Risk Management Matters
Unmanaged currency exposure can erode profitability, distort financial reporting, and introduce strategic uncertainty. Regardless of the size or sector of an organization, a structured approach to FX risk allows treasury teams to:
- Identify and quantify exposures with confidence
- Select and execute hedging strategies aligned to risk appetite
- Strengthen margins and improve forecasting accuracy
- Operate with greater predictability in volatile market conditions
This session highlights how effective FX risk management moves beyond technical execution to become a genuine source of strategic value for the business.
