30 minute session
What's in Your Stack? with Carsten Gerger, VP Finance at Lucanet
May 12, 5:00 PM CET | 11:00 AM ET
About the event
Ever wonder what other finance leaders actually have in their stack?
We're popping the hood and showing you exactly what a $180M ARR, 1,000-employee, multi-entity global company runs their finance function on. In this session, Carsten Gerger, VP Finance at Lucanet, walks us through the 12 tools his team runs on today - a stack built around a core ERP, a spend management platform, a consolidation and planning layer, and a data warehouse tied together by an integration layer, with four tools already carrying an AI layer.
He'll give you the honest version: what's actually automated, where data still can't be fully trusted, what he'd do differently, and how he's deciding where AI genuinely earns its place versus where it's still noise.
We'll cover
A full walkthrough of a 12-tool finance stack at scale
From banking and ERP through to the data warehouse, transformation layer, and board reporting
What's working, what isn't, and what he'd do differently
Including the tools and workflows that didn't survive the scaling journey
AI in the finance workflow
Where it's already in production, where it genuinely earns its place, and where it's still noise
