24 AN ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT TO THE LOS ANGELES BUSINESS JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 12, 2011
Publisher’s Letter
WELCOME to our fifth annual Los
Angeles Business Journal CFO
Awards special supplement, in
which we stop for moment to applaud
the financial knowhow and fiscal
achievements of the corporate space's
dollars and cents men and women - the
often unsung heroes of our companies'
successes - the Chief Financial Officers.
It's true that we tend to dedicate more
ink each issue to the CEO's of the companies
we report on - but you can ask virtually
any CEO in Los Angeles and they are
likely to agree that it's nearly impossible
to quantify the value of the CFOs they
work so closely with. Indeed, it's the
Chief Financial Officers who are often
charged with making sense of our volatile
economy and managing the bottom lines
of the companies navigating through the
day to day business space. So for all the
great CFOs profiled in this volume, we say
thank you and congratulations! Your
tireless contributions to the companies
you serve and ultimately, our business
community as a whole, are appreciated.
This issue focuses specifically on the
nominees and honorees we celebrated at
our CFO Awards luncheon on Wednesday,
September 7th at the Millennium
Biltmore downtown.
This year's list of suberb finalists –
each an example of excellence in the
field of financial business stewardship –
We congratulate our own Roger Krissman
and all of the other nominees of the CFO of the year award.
Prime Healthcare Services is a growing presence in healthcare
in California, with 14 hospitals based throughout the state. We
would not be able to prosper as we have without leaders such
as Roger, who has the ability to help us envision a new path,
and the pragmatism to know how to take it.
Prime Healthcare Services. We are moving the healthcare
industry in new and exciting directions.
Roger Krissman
