CFO's Look to Sharpen Greater Charlotte's Business Advantage
CHARLOTTE, NC – Chief Financial Officers in the greater Charlotte area are issuing a call to action to sharpen their community’s competitive edge in business. Several CFOs will join moderators Steve Reinemund, Dean of Wake Forest University Schools of Business, and Nick Araco, CEO of The CFO Alliance, for a forum titled “Driving Corporate Growth in Uncertain Times” on Tuesday, March 15 at Discovery Place, 301 N. Tryon Street in Charlotte.
“When it comes to the economy, jobs, and capital, the CFOs of the Charlotte community understand that greater collaboration always begins with discussion, and a more collaborative community is a competitive advantage for growing businesses,” said Reinemund.
“Every business does what it can on its own to sustain performance and ensure its competitive footing,” said Araco. “The question is ‘what can Charlotte now do collectively as a community to achieve an even greater advantage?’.”

Scott Boulware, CFO, ESP Systems, LLC
Patrick Fitzgerald, CFO, WMF Americas, Inc.
Shelley White, CFO, United Way of Central Carolinas, Inc.
