Northern Virginia Technology Council Announces Finalists for the 2020 Greater Washington Technology CFO Awards


“We had an exceptional group of nominees that our selection committee carefully considered. I am very excited about our slate of finalists who each in his/her own right has achieved a remarkable level of success,” said Bobbie Kilberg, President and CEO of NVTC.

The Northern Virginia Technology Council is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2020 Greater Washington Technology CFO Awards, which salutes both established chief financial officers and mid-career finance professionals for extraordinary achievement and excellence in promoting the development of the region’s technology

community.

“We had an exceptional group of nominees that our selection committee carefully considered. I am very excited about our slate of finalists who each in his/her own right has achieved a remarkable level of success,” said Bobbie Kilberg, President and CEO of NVTC. “Given our current environment, the role of a CFO is even more essential. I commend all of them for their hard work and dedication to their companies.”

Winners in the following five categories will be announced at the 24th annual awards banquet in September at The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner. For the second year, NVTC has included a Rising Star Award to recognize the region’s next generation of emerging finance stars. The award will be given to a class of honorees, instead of a single individual.

“We were very impressed with the caliber of CFOs being considered this year. Our judges panel consisted of former CFO award winners who set the tone for this new wave of finalists. It comes as no surprise that the finalists selected for this year’s CFO Awards are some of the most dedicated and innovative business leaders in the area,” remarked Anthony Calderazzi, Technology Assurance Partner, Ernst & Young. Calderazzi is the chairman of this year’s awards program.
