Go inside the 2023 CFO of the Year ceremony (Photos)

Over 300 gathered at the Hilton Tampa Downtown on May 31 to celebrate the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s 2023 CFO of the Year honorees.

Twenty financial executives from businesses across the Tampa Bay area were named CFO of the Year.

These awards recognize the top financial executives who help grow their companies and are active in the Tampa Bay economy and community. These CFOs go beyond the job parameters to help their businesses thrive. This year’s honorees come from a wide range of industries and locales.

Readers will notice a large majority of them this year are women. This tracks national trends. A 2022 Crist Kolder Volatility Report found that 16.3% of CFOs at Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies were women — a record-high increase from 6.3% in 2004 when tracking began.
