Financial Executives International in the News
(May 26, 2011) Earlier this month, FEI President and CEO Marie Hollein was quoted an FT.com article on the growing trend of chief financial officers transitioning into the role of CEO. In the article, entitled “Finance Directors Step On To Centre Stage,” Hollein commented that “a CFO is now much more like a partner with the CEO than at a lower place in the hierarchy.” Read the full article, which also appeared in print in the UK edition of the Financial Times, here.
