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 />

Tom Linebarger became Chairman and CEO of<br />

Cummins Inc., <strong>the</strong> largest independent maker of<br />

diesel engines and related products in <strong>the</strong><br />

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

COO from 2008 to 2011, Executive Vice President<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 />

MICHAEL MASLANSKY<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 />

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 />

PPACA and <strong>the</strong> New Health Care Landscape: Are You Ready for 2014?<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 />

more than triple in size — from 62 members in 2003 to 210 currently. The chapter has won<br />

more time to recruit for his Nor<strong>the</strong>astern Wisconsin Chapter, noting that 300 members is a<br />

strong possibility.<br />

McNamara and his wife Loula, who were high-school swee<strong>the</strong>arts, have two married children<br />

and five grandchildren.
