FEI President And CEO Marie N. Hollein: 'It's FEI's Time To Shine'

FEI President And CEO Marie N. Hollein: It's FEI's Time To Shine
March 3, 2009
FEI Summary

As the nation celebrated the inauguration of its 44th president on Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C.,— with much pomp and elegant celebrations — another president had taken her place a day earlier, in New Jersey, in an understated fashion. Lunching on pizza with her staff on Jan. 19, Marie N. Hollein began her post as president and CEO of Financial Executives International — the second female in that role in FEI’s 78-year history.

Just as President Barack Obama has begun his term at an unprecedented time in American history, Hollein begins her  tenure at FEI at a critical time for finance executives as they are reeling from the global economic crisis.

However, Hollein believes “this is FEI’s time to shine.” It’s time, she says, to be proactive in increasing awareness of FEI among the many financial executives who don’t know about it, but are eligible for membership and would benefit from what FEI has to offer.
