Dear Reader:
In our second annual issue of the C-Suite: Trends, Updates and CFO Leadership Awards magazine, L.A. Times B2B Publishing presents an in-depth look at the essential roles of CEOs and CFOs and how they’re navigating their companies through the challenges and uncertainties of today’s business climate.
Inflation, supply chain issues, the COVID-19 pandemic and world events all conspire to throw obstacles at 2022 business plans in every boardroom. However, there is cause for optimism in the C-suite as CEOs and CFOs shift their priorities, take advantage of new opportunities and consolidate their strengths in anticipation of an ever-changing business world.
We also recap the 2022 CFO Leadership Awards, a live event in June that recognized top CFOs for their successes and accomplishments during the last 24 months as well as the financial health of their organization. Congrats to all of the honorees and nominees and thank you to our Diamond sponsor, Marsh McLennan Agency; our Platinum sponsors, GHJ and Phonexa; and the Gold sponsors, BPM LLP and Union Bank for helping make the evening a great success.
Finally, the magazine spotlights the CEOs of numerous companies across California who have exhibited exceptional leadership qualities within their organizations and communities. We hope you enjoy reading about the inspiring backgrounds and notable achievements of these visionaries. All the articles and profiles in this magazine can also be read and shared online at latimes.com/b2b/csuite.
