WINNER 22 WWW.CFOSTUDIO.COM 3rd QUARTER 2016 CFO SUCCESS AWARD STRATEGY The CFO who has led strategic initiatives that have resulted in significant enhancement of value, operations, realignment, rationalization, and/or financial performance. MichaelDentici CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER | T&M ASSOCIATES “T&M is a full-service engineering firm, so innovating and creating strategy for us — and for any service-oriented company — is about evaluating where the industry is going and being at the leading edge of new services and the investments needed to become a top service-provider for whatever market area we’re trying to penetrate. It’s important for a CFO, or any financial executive, to be sure the success of a new strategy can be measured. You have to establish the right KPIs [key performance indicators] for the new strategy, and it often helps to separate the new strategy from the core business and measure it differently, at least at the outset. My mission over the last four or five years is to be sure that the company is positioned financially to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself, especially opportunities that require capital from a bank or investment in enhanced benefit programs necessary to attract and retain top talent. The right medical, 401(k), and other executive compensation plans are key in our business, and we are constantly evaluating those to be sure that we have them appropriately structured and financed correctly.” FINALIST FOR CFO SUCCESS AWARD | STRATEGY Barry Lederman | Chief Financial Officer, Halo Pharma
