Most careers in AP don’t start with a five-year plan, they start with an entry-level role, a stack of invoices, and no real sense of where it might lead.

This panel follows leaders who took that starting point and built something far bigger than they expected: seats of real influence, teams they’re proud of, and careers with impact well beyond the AP function. Skipping the highlight reel, they’ll get honest about the setbacks, the unglamorous work, and the specific choices that opened doors, so you can start recognizing those same opportunities in your own path. A practical and hopeful close to the conversation about where an AP career can actually go.
