My name is Jon Yuregir, I’m the Head of Financial Planning and Analysis at easyJet PLC, a FTSE 100 low cost European airline. I look after the long term and short term financial planning cycle, including mid term plan, budgeting and [rolling forecasts](https://www.financealliance.io/rolling-forecast-best-practices/). I also business partner the corporate overheads department. Alongside my love of aviation & travel, and having a loving, if sometimes chaotic home life (three kids, of which two twin boys, a dog, and three chickens), I like endurance sports such as triathlon. I also have a keen interest in cultures, languages, ethnicity and migratory flows. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to pursue this interest by becoming a trustee for the European Network on Statelessness, a civil society alliance that promotes the right to a nationality in Europe. ### What will you be speaking about at our event? I will be talking about my career journey to date, the key decisions I had to take at various junctures, where I’ve taken risks, where I’ve been deliberate in seeking out a direction I wanted to go in, and where I’ve gone with the flow. I’ll also touch upon my experience of working with a range of very able FP&A professionals, and explain that there's no 'one mould' of personality type, or experience. ### What is the key takeaway you hope attendees will gain from your talk? - Is FP&A for you? - [How to get into FP&A](https://www.financealliance.io/fp-a-salary-and-career-path-guide/) (if you aren’t already in a FP&A role), routes from audit/financial control, commercial and how to progress up the ranks - Building a high achieving [FP&A team](https://www.financealliance.io/fp-a-team-structure/) is about ensuring that team members have complimenting skillsets. And if you're a one-man band, how to navigate your areas for development whilst showcasing your strengths. - Systems thinking, automation and process simplification ### Who is your ideal attendee for this event? Someone either just starting out in FP&A and wanting guidance on how to progress, or someone in other areas of finance who want to transition into FP&A. --- [FP&A Summit speaker spotlight with Liudmila GudinaWe’re super excited to have Liudmila Gudina, Fagron’s Global Working Capital Manager, join us for a chat before her big session at the FP&A Summit in London!![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a5/73/a5734519-d6ac-4b17-95b8-f7a3866730ab/content/images/icon/android-chrome-192x192-12.png)Finance AllianceFinance Alliance![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a5/73/a5734519-d6ac-4b17-95b8-f7a3866730ab/content/images/thumbnail/Copy-of-FA_Website_Article_Images_Author_Highlight--5--2-3.png)](https://www.financealliance.io/fp-a-summit-speaker-spotlight-with-liudmila-gudina/) --- ### What are you looking forward to the most about the event? The opportunity to speak to other delegates, presenters and network. ### Can you provide a brief teaser of what attendees can expect from your presentation? Given I work in the aviation sector, I will try and storyboard my presentation in a similar theme to taking a journey. There are many parallels between an FP&A career and taking a plane journey. From gaining a fast track at the airport, to knowing where your destination is, dealing with unforeseen detours, ensuring brilliant customer service throughout. ### What advice would you give to young professionals starting out in the finance industry? Be curious, be competent, be a fixer. Try to make your manager’s life as easy as possible and take opportunities to act up. But also be authentic and portray a personality that brings in aspects of your interests and character outside of work. --- ## **Join us at the FP&A Summit London!** Unleash the full strategic potential of your financial planning & analysis function at the FP&A Summit in London on November 6!
