INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Old National CFO Jim Ryan has been named the 2018 CFO of the Year by the Indiana Business Journal (IBJ). Ryan was officially recognized as the top honoree in the Public Companies category at a Dec. 7 presentation in Indianapolis.
IBJ’s CFO of the Year recognition spotlights the crucial role that top financial executives play in helping Indiana companies, government agencies and not-for-profits develop strategy and prosper.
“Jim’s core strength has always been his ability to develop long-term strategies and find the most effective and efficient means to implement and communicate those strategies,” said Bob Jones, Chairman & CEO. “He is truly deserving of this recognition and Old National is fortunate to have him as a leader.”
A native of Michigan, Jim joined Old National in 2000 as Assistant Treasurer and was later promoted to Treasurer. In 2007, he spearheaded Old National’s acquisition of St. Joseph Capital in Michiana. In 2009, Ryan assumed the role of Director of Corporate Strategy and Development, ultimately devising the growth strategy that has positioned Old National for success today.
