author or editor of 32 books, including <strong>the</strong><br />
New York Times and Wall Street Journal<br />
bestsellers, MOJO and What Got You Here Won't<br />
Get You T<strong>here</strong> — a WSJ #1 business book and<br />
winner of <strong>the</strong> Harold Longman Award for<br />
Business Book of <strong>the</strong> Year. His books have been<br />
translated into 28 languages and become<br />
bestsellers in ten countries.<br />
Both of Ron Johnson's parents were born and<br />
raised on farms. Their work ethic and smalltown<br />
values were naturally passed along to<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir own children. As a result, he has worked<br />
hard all his life. As a boy, Johnson mowed<br />
lawns, shoveled snow, delivered papers, and<br />
caddied for a few extra bucks. At <strong>the</strong> age of 15,<br />
he obtained his first tax-paying job as a<br />
dishwasher in a Walgreens grill. Johnson rose<br />

Chairman and CEO, he served as President and<br />

Prior to joining Cummins, Linebarger was an<br />
investment analyst and investment manager at<br />
Prudential Investment Corporation w<strong>here</strong> he<br />
lived in both Singapore and Hong Kong. While at<br />
Stanford, he worked at Cummins as an intern<br />
and spent his summer working on <strong>the</strong><br />
problem, not mere<br />
symptoms. He believes<br />
huge deficits, slow<br />
economic activity,<br />
high unemployment<br />
and woefully inadequate job creation are<br />
severe symptoms of <strong>the</strong> problem – but not <strong>the</strong><br />
root cause. The ever expanding size, scope and<br />

CEO | Maslansky Luntz + Partners, Expert on Communication and Language Strategies<br />
Michael Maslansky spends a great deal of time<br />
thinking about why some messages stick and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs do not, and why sometimes <strong>the</strong> right word<br />
at <strong>the</strong> right time can make all <strong>the</strong> difference in<br />
creating successful communications. As CEO of<br />

DR. MARSHALL GOLDSMITH<br />
Recognized as <strong>the</strong> #1 leadership thinker in <strong>the</strong> world at<br />
Harvard Business Review's bi-annual Thinkers50 ceremony<br />
Dr. Goldsmith's Ph.D. is from UCLA's Anderson<br />
School of Management w<strong>here</strong> (in 2012) he was<br />
recognized as <strong>the</strong> Distinguished Alumnus of <strong>the</strong><br />
Year. He teaches executive education at<br />
Dartmouth's Tuck School and frequently speaks<br />
at leading business schools. He is one of a select<br />
few executive advisors who have been asked to<br />
work with over 150 major CEOs and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
management teams. He served on <strong>the</strong> Board of<br />
strategies that shift perceptions and move<br />
markets. His book, The Language of Trust: Selling<br />
Ideas in a World of Skeptics explores new words,<br />
phrases, and communication techniques to<br />
address situations w<strong>here</strong> <strong>the</strong>re appears to be a<br />
"failure to communicate." His presentations<br />
incorporate this real life experience, providing<br />
clear and compelling advice for how to use <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Peter Drucker<br />
Foundation for ten<br />
years. He has been a<br />
volunteer teacher for<br />
US Army Generals,<br />
Navy Admirals, Girl Scout executives,<br />
International and American Red Cross leaders —<br />
w<strong>here</strong> he was a National Volunteer of <strong>the</strong> Year.<br />
right language—and<br />
<strong>the</strong> right approach to<br />
using it. Maslanksky's<br />
key philosophy is that it<br />
is not what organizations<br />
say, but what <strong>the</strong>ir audience hears, and he has<br />
incredible research on how <strong>the</strong> public interprets<br />
words and messaging.<br />

Market-Proofing Your Career: Building Your Personal Brand in an<br />
Uncertain Economy • Neopolitan III-IV<br />
T<strong>here</strong> was a time when a successful career as a financial executive<br />
was almost completely built on hard work, progressive responsibility<br />
and continuing education. While those are still key components—<br />
with <strong>the</strong> increasingly globalized marketplace, an unpredictable<br />
economic environment and <strong>the</strong> impact of social media blending<br />
personal and corporate communications—careers are complicated<br />
exponentially from every angle in <strong>the</strong>se tumultuous times.<br />
This session will explore how to “market proof” your career<br />
through proven and timeless actions, describe what savvy<br />
executives are doing to globalize <strong>the</strong>ir skill sets, demonstrate<br />
how to harness <strong>the</strong> evolving advantages of social media and<br />
explain why all of this makes us better performers and leaders<br />
in <strong>the</strong> organizations we serve.<br />

Data Security Trends in 2013 • Milano VIII<br />
New data trends are projected to dramatically drive an increase in<br />
security investments. An already large security market is expected<br />
to grow by 56% from current levels over <strong>the</strong> next five years, while<br />
growth in cloud security is expected to almost triple. A key reason<br />
for this growth in security investments is regulatory compliance.<br />
Organizations need to anticipate and plan for <strong>the</strong> coming wave of<br />
government interventions and regulations.<br />
In this session, join security expert Suzanne Miller, Ph.D. of<br />
Vaco Compliance and Audit Group/Risk Solution Services as she<br />

One element of certainty that came out of Washington in 2012<br />
was that <strong>the</strong> Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)<br />
appears to be <strong>here</strong> to stay, since <strong>the</strong> Supreme Court essentially<br />
upheld <strong>the</strong> law and President Obama was reelected for a second<br />
term as president. Although <strong>the</strong> healthcare exchanges and <strong>the</strong> pay<br />
or play penalties will not go into effect until 2014, employers must be<br />
planning and adapting now to be ready for <strong>the</strong> new requirements.<br />
This panel will explore <strong>the</strong> major PPACA changes and costs to<br />
employers, and discuss avenues companies are currently taking to<br />
adjust to <strong>the</strong> new health coverage landscape.<br />

FEI acknowledges and thanks<br />
MARSHA HUNT<br />
for her year of achievement as<br />
Board Chair, 2012-2013<br />
CHAIR TRIBUTE<br />
Marsha Hunt didn’t plan to become a financial executive when she started on her career path<br />
more than 25 years ago, but her undergraduate studies at Bucknell University led her to a degree<br />
in accounting, which she followed with her CPA degree. She worked in <strong>the</strong> audit practice of Arthur<br />
Andersen and in various corporate control roles, including as <strong>the</strong> Assistant Controller of Corning Inc.<br />
Since 2003, she’s with Columbus, Ind.-based Cummins Inc., now serving as Vice President – Corporate<br />
Controller of <strong>the</strong> global provider of power technologies.<br />
Hunt also didn’t plan to be chair of <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Executives</strong> International. Accepting <strong>the</strong> position last<br />
year, she noted that “FEI has always been something special to me. It’s been an important part of my<br />
life.” In addition, she expressed pride in <strong>the</strong> “respect and esteem afforded FEI by regulators, standard<br />
setters, high-profile sponsors and <strong>the</strong> media.” She deems it a “milestone in one’s career when <strong>the</strong> level<br />
of responsibility to qualify for membership in FEI is achieved.”<br />
She added that “FEI’s global activities enhance our brand recognition and also relevance to our<br />
members,” and that “<strong>the</strong> more we understand about o<strong>the</strong>r parts of <strong>the</strong> world, <strong>the</strong> more we will<br />
understand <strong>the</strong> economic environments in which we operate.”<br />
During <strong>the</strong> last year, FEI has broadened its quarterly economic survey to include feedback from<br />
financial executives in France, Italy, Mexico and Japan. FEI’s Japan Chapter, just launched in 2012,<br />
is growing in membership and is making ongoing progress with programs and sponsors. Ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
global initiative is <strong>the</strong> United Kingdom (an event is planned for May), and discussions to link with<br />
executives in more countries continue.<br />
In expanding FEI’s influence domestically, Hunt says that activities such as <strong>the</strong> Washington fly-ins<br />
“are very important.” Under her tenure, FEI has delivered approximately 20 comment letters to<br />
regulators, standards setters and Congress. In addition, FEI staff and members have testified before<br />
Congress on subjects such as <strong>the</strong> impact of taxes on private companies and derivatives regulation.<br />
“Our efforts to be at <strong>the</strong> table on a variety of business topics — not just accounting standards —<br />
cannot be underestimated,” said Hunt when she became chair. In this regard, FEI recently formed<br />
<strong>the</strong> Private Companies for Tax Fairness, a coalition of large and middle-market privately held and/or<br />
family-owned companies, to provide a voice for thousands of private companies in <strong>the</strong> coming tax<br />
reform debate in Congress. The group held its first series of meetings with lawmakers in early April.<br />
Hunt’s involvement with FEI is extensive. She has been a member of FEI’s Indianapolis Chapter since<br />
2000. She has served at <strong>the</strong> national level on numerous committees, including <strong>the</strong> Committee on<br />
Corporate Reporting and <strong>the</strong> FEI Board of Directors, as well as supporting many activities at <strong>the</strong><br />
national level, such as <strong>the</strong> Hall of Fame and serving as a Trustee of <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Executives</strong> Research<br />
Foundation (from 2003-2009).<br />
During her year as chair, Hunt has been at <strong>the</strong> helm of FEI during a pivotal time, as <strong>the</strong> organization<br />
continues to align its structures, processes and culture with <strong>the</strong> mission and vision of FEI. She led<br />
<strong>the</strong> Board with a professional focus on long-term strategies and <strong>the</strong> mitigation of risk, and her<br />
commitment to improving FEI across all areas will surely serve as her legacy.<br />

GARY R. KABURECK has been an active and visible<br />
member of <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Executives</strong> International for nearly<br />
two decades while at <strong>the</strong> same time engaging in his<br />
career of leadership, expertise, service and global recognition.<br />
He has served as Vice Chair of FEI’s Committee on Corporate<br />
Reporting (CCR) as well as serving on various standard-setting<br />
board advisory committees at <strong>the</strong> <strong>Financial</strong> Accounting<br />
Standards Board (FASB) and Public Company Accounting<br />
Oversight Board (PCAOB). He has spoken before <strong>the</strong> U.S.<br />
Congress and o<strong>the</strong>r governmental bodies on various proposed<br />
legislative actions and has been a strong voice for FEI and<br />
financial executives at <strong>the</strong> national and global levels.<br />
Kabureck has 28 years of experience with Xerox Corp.,<br />
culminating as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer,<br />
w<strong>here</strong> he had global responsibility at <strong>the</strong> $22 billion<br />
technology and services company for both International<br />
<strong>Financial</strong> Reporting Standards (IFRS) and U.S. generally<br />
accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) processes.<br />
That involved leading a team of more than 1,200 accountants<br />
worldwide, oversight of Xerox’s accounting policy development, implementation of new<br />
accounting procedures, internal and external financial reporting as well as internal controls.<br />
Prior to Xerox, he worked for PwC for 10 years.<br />
Peers in <strong>the</strong> Rochester Chapter describe Kabureck as a “thought leader and recognized expert<br />
in financial reporting matters,” as well as a “natural leader, who is <strong>the</strong> chapter’s strongest voice<br />
on technical matters at a national level.” They also acknowledge his willingness to share his global<br />
experiences and knowledge with <strong>the</strong> chapter members and to serve as a speaker at meetings.<br />
Kabureck served as Rochester Chapter President from 1999-2000 (after having joined and immediately<br />
serving on <strong>the</strong> chapter’s Board of Directors) and recognized <strong>the</strong> changing landscape of <strong>the</strong> business<br />
community by supporting outreach to a group of members that was historically under-represented<br />
in <strong>the</strong> chapter. As such, he continued to build chapter programs and membership within <strong>the</strong> evolving<br />
business environment. Though he eventually worked several hundred miles from w<strong>here</strong> he lived in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Rochester area, he remained involved as much as possible with <strong>the</strong> chapter.<br />
He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting at <strong>the</strong> University of Bridgeport in 1975 and<br />
a Master of Business Administration (Finance, General) in 1981. Kabureck was appointed a Member<br />
of <strong>the</strong> International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and is based in London since his<br />
assignment began in April 2013.<br />
Married for 34 years, Kabureck and his wife have raised two children, a son and a daughter.<br />

strong possibility.<br />
