Justin Irizarry Awarded 2018 South Florida Business Journal's CFO of the Year

It’s no secret that successful CFOs play many roles in modern enterprise. They are strategic partners to their management teams, navigators through seas both calm and rough, and financial visionaries who take timeless lessons and contemporary examples to chart new paths. The success of their companies prove their worth.

As with past years, these honorees are skilled and seasoned executives. But, despite their financial acumen, when asked what they’d do in a second career, many said they would explore the arts or sciences, partner with new clients to tackle fresh opportunities, or help teach the next generation of students.

Still engaged in and challenged by their careers, they profess a yearning to change our shared future.

Vital to their companies’ successes, these CFOs reflect a new face of the modern financial executive.
