hhh, spring! And, summer
isn’t too far behind! As
we suspected, Bridgegate
went nowhere, presumably
because Governor Christie’s
opponents had nothing better to
use…what a feeding frenzy, what a
waste of energy!
In this issue, we highlight Quest Diagnostics
and its very focused CFO, Mark Guinan. Mr.
Guinan’s learned and intelligent approach to
finance and growth is evident in Quest
Diagnostics’ recent successes. Join us at the
CFO Studio Reception honoring Mr. Guinan
and Quest on June 3, 2014 at 6 p.m. at the
beautiful new clubhouse at Galloping Hill Golf
Course, in Kenilworth, NJ.
Last quarter, we held the CFOStudio
Reception at the Atlantic HealthNY Jets Training
Facility honoring the NY Jets’ CFO, Brian
Friedman. About 140 finance executives and
others had a wonderful time. In the Q3 issue, you
will read about DavidMarberger, CFOof that,
dare I say, sweet company, Godiva Chocolatier.
That reception promises to be—um, delicious!
Right now, you’ll want to read about our
Featured CFOs, Robert Landry of Regeneron
Pharmaceuticals (“Raising the Biopharma Bar”)
and Michael Riccio of Panasonic (“Adjusting
the Big Picture”). You’ll get great insight from
accomplished CFOs who attended our recent
Executive Dinners, led by the energetic Irv
Rothman, CEO of Hewlett-Packard Financial
Services, in his discussion, “From CFO to CEO:
The Next Natural Progression” and Jonathan
Stearns of Stearns Associated Partners — our
first Executive Dinner in Manhattan — “Debt
and Equity in the Middle Market.”
Watch for future NY events!
With this issue, we introduce
a new section, “Interacting with
CFOs,” beginning with the important
relationship that exists between General
Counsels and CFOs. GCs from Trinitas
Regional Medical Center, Nestlé Nutrition,
MISTRAS Group, and Innophos shared their
thoughts.
In the spring of 2015, right here in New
Jersey, we’ll hold the first-ever CFO Innovation
Conference and Awards, a full day of discussions,
knowledge transfer, peer meetings, and panel
discussions, culminating in a CFO Awards
Ceremony and celebration. Watch your in-box.
In the CFO 2 CFO section, sponsored
by Rothstein Kass, read great articles by
Brian Zietsman, president and CFO, Enteris
BioPharma, Inc.; Shane Kovacs, CFO, PTC
Therapeutics; and Bill Korn, CFO, MTBC. You
will want to read the insights from our exclusive
column authors: “New Standard on Goodwill,”
by Neal Godt, CPA, EisnerAmper; “Pharma
Compliance 101,” by C. John DeSimone,
III, Esq. and Michael L. Rich, Esq., Porzio
Bromberg; and articles by Mark Toriello, The
Alliance Group; Raj Durai, Innospire Systems;
Aldonna Ambler, The Growth Strategist; and
Cindy Kraft, The CFO-Coach. And don’t
miss our Q&A with Jay Roberts, AdvantEdge
Healthcare Solutions.
After you read this issue, contact me, so we
can figure out how we can deploy CFO Studio’s
resources to position you as a business and
strategy thought-leader and promote your
company. Happy spring!
