CFO Advisors

IN THE CREATION of Guide to CFO Success, I organized a group of senior finance executives to help me. Eighty-seven people signed up to be my advisors for this book. For a period of 14 consecutive weeks in early 2013, my advisors answered my questions and shared their personal experiences with me. These surveys were instrumental in providing me with real-world insight to the challenges faced by CFOs on their path to success. You will find their pearls of wisdom throughout this book.

I am truly grateful to all 87 of you for the investment you made. I hope you found it worth your time.

Thank you to the 59 people mentioned below who gave me permission to mention their names in this book. To the 28 who respectfully declined, don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.
