FEI CANADA 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

STRATEGIC UPDATE – YEAR IN REVIEW
FEI CANADA AWARDS
CANADA’S CFO OF THE YEAR AWARD
Annually, FEI Canada recognizes great
financial leaders with our Canada’s CFO of
the Year TM Award. Each year, the nominating
committee gets together and discusses at
length the group of potential winners, and it
is no easy decision. We are very fortunate in
Canada to have so many excellent financial leaders
who have helped to shield us from many of the
misfortunes and mismanagement that have
affected the global financial community.
This year, the outstanding CFO who we are
pleased to honour is Gordon Maron, Chief
Financial Officer of PCL Construction Holdings
Ltd. Gordon was the CFO of PCL from 2001-2011,
and is a 40-year veteran of the PCL family of
companies. His ability to anticipate change
and to deliver strategic financial leadership
led to his appointment to the PCL Board of
Directors in 1995 and his promotion to Chief
Financial Officer in 2001. As CFO, Gordon
implemented the financial strategy and infrastructure
required to support rapid growth, in
particular during the period of 2006 to 2009,
when billings rose from $4.7 billion to
$6.3 billion. Gordon recently transitioned
to the role of Executive Vice President and
will work directly with PCL’s Chief Executive
Officer on capital planning, enterprise risk
management and succession planning,
which are vital initiatives within PCL’s
multi-national corporation.
