XLERANT CEO TO SPEAK AT PROFORMATIVE’S CFO DIMENSIONS 2013 IN NEW YORK CITY
Ted Dacko to Speak on Strategic Leadership Role of Financial Executives and Changing Trends in FP&A
STAMFORD, CT–(Marketwired – August 19, 2013) – XLerant Inc., leading provider of SaaS cloud-based budgeting software BudgetPak, today announced that CEO Ted Dacko will present at Proformative’s CFO Dimensions 2013, the premier conference for chief financial officers and corporate finance leaders. The company has been invited to lead a session as one of five presenters in the event’s “Finance Technology” track.
Dacko will be co-presenting an 11:30 am session — titled “The FP&A Paradigm – A Shift From Budgeting to Strategic Planning” — with Jason Webster, CEO and Founder of Archetype Consulting. A widely published industry expert on the changing trends in financial leadership, Mr. Webster will share his insights into best practices on how today’s financial executive can make the most of the FP&A opportunity. Combined with Mr. Dacko’s experience as CEO of five software firms and his senior leadership positions at organizations including Hyperion and Orion Micro Systems, these speakers bring extensive industry and C-suite experience to the topic of the evolving role of financial leadership and the growing need to engage members across the entire organization in the FP&A process.
XLerant will also participate as a Gold-level sponsor of the CFO Dimensions event. “We are pleased to sponsor this continuing education event for CFOs and financial executives,” commented Mr. Dacko. “Finance teams are highly visible leaders in the strategic planning process — and they are being relied upon to engage staff at all levels of their organizations like never before. This forum provides an opportunity for them to learn ‘real-world’ best practices from industry experts — and from their peers.”
“The days of traditional ‘behind-the-desk’ financial roles are gone,” added Mr. Webster. “Today’s finance execs know they have to lead from the front — and together we can identify and disseminate what’s working best in real-world practice.”
XLerant joins other leading corporate finance leaders and subject matter experts scheduled to present in four conference tracks: Leadership; Governance, Risk and Compliance; Finance Technology; and Operational Effectiveness.
“We are honored to name XLerant as a Gold Sponsor for CFO Dimensions 2013,” commented Proformative co-founder and CEO John Kogan. “As a company founded on reinventing the corporate budgeting and planning process, XLerant embodies the innovative spirit that is helping financial executives transform the way they manage an enterprise’s most critical assets: time, money, and people. We’re excited to include them in our mix of world-class companies and thought leaders.”
