Sears Holdings CFO,Jason Hollar
After another dismal quarter in which Sears Holdings lost considerably more money than it did a year ago, CFO Jason Hollar insisted that the company has a path back to viability. He cited the company's "portfolio of assets," along with "debt financing activities," and "expense reductions." "Our focus on generating positive EBITDA continues," the CFO said. "We do not intend to borrow money to fund continued operating losses, but rather to provide us with flexibility as we transition to an asset-light member-centric integrated retailer leveraging our Shop Your Way program."
西爾斯控股2016年第二財(cái)季虧損高于上年同期,對(duì)此,CFO Jason Hollar強(qiáng)調(diào),公司有能力重回盈利。他列舉了公司的“投資組合資產(chǎn),”以及“債務(wù)融資”和“支出減少”等計(jì)劃?!拔覀?nèi)詫⒗^續(xù)專注于EBITA的增長(zhǎng),借來(lái)的資金不會(huì)用于持續(xù)虧損的業(yè)務(wù),而是用于在借助Shop Your Way計(jì)劃向以會(huì)員為中心的輕資產(chǎn)綜合零售商過(guò)渡中提高資金的靈活性。”
U.S. Bancorp CFO, Terry Dolan
As Dolan recalls, "we talked about a variety of opportunities to consider, to [help me] obtain career experiences that might [lead to] achieving that goal. The company enabled me to lead a variety of business integrations," says Dolan. "It enabled me to learn more about many aspects of our company and people across the organization." Overall, "each experience broadened my perspective on leadership relating to our employees, clients, communities and shareholders, which is valuable in my new role."
在為美國(guó)合眾銀行供職18年后,Terry Dolan終于成為了公司CFO。Dolan回憶道,“關(guān)于如何能成長(zhǎng)為CFO,我和人力資源副總裁Jennie Carlson曾進(jìn)行過(guò)很多討論,考慮過(guò)各種機(jī)會(huì)。公司讓我領(lǐng)導(dǎo)各種業(yè)務(wù)整合,這使我有機(jī)會(huì)對(duì)公司的各方面以及組織中的人員有了更為全面的認(rèn)識(shí)??偟膩?lái)說(shuō),每一段經(jīng)歷都擴(kuò)大了我對(duì)員工、客戶、社群和股東的認(rèn)知,這些對(duì)于我的新角色來(lái)說(shuō)是非常有價(jià)值的?!?/p>
Costco CFO, Richard Galanti
The CFO said that the company is past any difficulty from the switch. He laid out how the move was a double win. "In terms of increased cash back rewards, the estimate is about a 40% to 50% improvement in the reward program," Galanti said. "And it's also great for us in terms of driving member value and sales over the next years and of course lowering our effective costs of accepting credit and debit cards."、
2016年Costco最大也是最冒險(xiǎn)的動(dòng)作就是不再接受使用美國(guó)運(yùn)通卡, 取而代之的是由花旗發(fā)行的Visa信用 卡。CFO Richard Galanti表示,在轉(zhuǎn)變過(guò)程中,公司經(jīng)歷了各種困難,但最終取得了雙贏的結(jié)果?!皩?duì)于 會(huì)員而言,可以獲得更多的現(xiàn)金回饋獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),根據(jù)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)計(jì)劃,大約提高40%到50%。對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)也有很大的價(jià) 值,在接下來(lái)的幾年會(huì)創(chuàng)造更大的會(huì)員價(jià)值、增加銷量。當(dāng)然,還會(huì)降低我們接受信用卡和借記卡的部分有 效成本。”
