Mastering Internal Liquidity in a Volatile Economy

In an era defined by fluctuating interest rates and global supply chain disruptions, cash is no longer just "king" - it is oxygen. To address these critical challenges, Calculum CEO and Founder Oliver Belin recently joined Gary Fowler, CEO of GSD Venture Studios, for an in-depth masterclass on transforming working capital from a back-office metric into a mission-critical growth lever.

During the session, titled "Strategic Working Capital – Unlocking Critical Liquidity Growth in 2026," Belin shared insights from his two decades of expertise at firms like Macquarie Bank and PrimeRevenue to show business leaders how to liberate "trapped" capital.
