Alas, as we await the results of the rather frightening U.S. Presidential election and then the holidays, it’s time to kick into high gear and focus on year-end business initiatives and my other passion…CFOs! As Publisher of CFO Studio magazine, I am extremely proud of what my team has accomplished, and equally so, honored by the bevy of CFOs at high-profile companies who continue to participate in CFO Studio events and magazine. With this issue, we’ve published 20, and have had the pleasure of spotlighting numerous CFOs in our articles. Included in this estimable group are CFOs from Agfa, Avis Budget, Vonage, Horizon, HP Financial, Mercedes-Benz, D&B, PSE&G, NY Jets, Quest, Evonik, Dassault Falcon Jet, Godiva, Subaru, Verizon, Bayer, Eagles, Jaguar Land Rover, and now Johnson & Johnson. Upcoming cover stories will highlight CFOs from International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), Prudential, NBCUniversal, and AOL, with others in the works. How cool is that!? In this issue, the cover story on Johnson& Johnson and its CFO, Dominic Caruso, is impressive. Join us on September 15 as we host the CFOStudio Reception honoring Johnson& Johnson andMr. Caruso; details are on the facing page. I am very excited to announce that Alison Cornell, Executive Vice President and CFOof IFF, will appear in the cover story of our Q1 2017 issue. Join us for a reception honoring her onNovember 15 at a venue to be announced. Request invitations to either or both CFOStudio Receptions at www.CFOstudio.com. I ammore than pleased to announce the launch of an important new section in CFO Studio magazine, entitled “Studies in Success.” In this section, we will highlight select CFOs and their high-caliber advisors, and in a case study format, will describe the challenges and successes they’ve achieved together. This first edition of “Studies in Success” highlights a presentation delivered at the 2016 CFO Innovation Conference by D&B’s Rich Veldran, CFO, a longtime friend of CFO Studio, and Jeffrey Kotzen, Senior Partner andManaging Director of The Boston Consulting Group. Contact us if you wish to be considered for future editions of “Studies in Success.” Articles about Day &Zimmerman, T&MAssociates, EPAMSystems, and others, including numerous stories spotlighting the 2016 CFO Innovation Conference—as well as articles from John Moskonas of The ARGroup of Search Companies and Aldonna Ambler, The Growth Strategist— provide superb insights and guidance. CFO Studio’s conferences and events are growing in New Jersey, Manhattan, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Chicago, and elsewhere. If you are a CPA and a CFO, join us at the Q4 CFOBreakfast Learning event, to be held at the Galloping Hill Golf Course, in Kenilworth, NJ, on a date to be announced. There you can earn up to three CPE credit hours. The December 15 deadline is fast approaching for the 2017 CFO Innovation Awards. Make arrangements to be nominated for one, and watch for an invitation to the 2017 CFO Innovation Conference. We’ve got great presentations and discussions planned and an exciting format as well. CFO Studio has grown, based on ideas proposed by CFOs, business development partners, and others. We gladly welcome your suggestions and eagerly anticipate seeing you at our next events.
