Benkert has been promoted to Chief Administrative Officer at Vectren','2014-06-01','2014-03-04','Stemming from plans of two executive vice presidents, Vectren Corporation (NYSE: VVC) Chairman, President and CEO Carl Chapman announced organizational changes today that will essentially serve as phase two of the leadership changes put in place in August 2013 and align with the company\'s ongoing succession planning strategy. Approved by the company\'s Board of Directors today, these changes will be effective June 1, 2014, and continue to advance Vectren\'s next generation of senior leadership.<br />William (Bill) Doty, Vectren\'s long-time executive vice president of utility operations and president of Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc. (VUHI), the holding company for all utility investments, has chosen to step down from his position due to health-related reasons. In addition, Jerome (Jerry) Benkert, Vectren\'s executive vice president and chief financial officer, announced his intentions to transition from his chief financial officer (CFO) responsibilities and toward his full retirement, which is currently expected during the second quarter of 2015. Benkert will become executive vice president and chief administrative officer and will continue to report to Chapman. Benkert will retain oversight of the company\'s other shared services departments, including performance management and strategic sourcing, human resources, information technology and customer service, until his planned retirement.<br />Succeeding Doty will be Eric (Rick) Schach, who will become Vectren\'s senior vice president of utility operations and president of VUHI. Schach has served as the senior vice president of marketing and energy delivery since August, and prior to that was the utility\'s vice president of energy delivery for more than 10 years. Schach will retain senior level oversight of his current responsibilities, including energy delivery, marketing and corporate communications, and add the power supply, business process planning and measurement and safety departments.<br />Susan Hardwick will become senior vice president and CFO. Hardwick has served as Vectren\'s senior vice president of finance since August 2013 and prior to this role was the company\'s vice president and controller. In addition to assuming the CFO role, Hardwick will retain responsibilities for the controller group and the regulatory implementation and analysis department as well as the treasury, investor relations and risk management teams.<br />\"\"We believe today\'s announcements reflect a well-developed, thoughtful succession planning process that has been planned for quite some time whereby we continue to properly position our next generation of senior leadership,\"\" said Chapman. \"\"Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and his well-being during this time, and we very much appreciate his invaluable service and guidance to our company that has clearly helped drive Vectren\'s success. Rick is certainly ready to move into this new role and ensure our utilities continue on their path of delivering an exceptional customer experience while maintaining consistent earnings growth. Susan is equally prepared to fill the chief financial officer role and with more than 20 years of utility and corporate accounting and financial experience is the ideal candidate for this key leadership position. I am very appreciative of Jerry\'s service in the CFO role, which he has held for more than 14 years since Vectren\'s formation. While I understand his personal desire to free up time for other pursuits, I appreciate his willingness to discuss his retirement intentions more than a year in advance thereby providing us ample time and his continued on-site expertise to ensure a smooth transition for the company.\"\"<br />Both Schach and Hardwick will report directly to Chapman. They join Benkert, Ronald (Ron) Christian, Vectren\'s executive vice president, chief legal and external affairs officer and corporate secretary, Elizabeth (Liz) Witte, vice president of planning and corporate development, and the three presidents of Vectren\'s nonutility businesses as Chapman\'s direct reports. <br />In other management changes announced today, Robert (Robbie) Sears, the current director of conservation, who has more than 25 years in the utility industry, will be promoted to vice president of marketing and conservation, where he will retain responsibilities for the company\'s conservation programs and natural gas vehicle accounts and add the sales, revenue management, economic development and energy technologies departments to his team, where previously they had reported directly to Schach. Sears will continue to report to Schach in his new role.<br />In addition, last month, Jason Stephenson joined Vectren as vice president and general counsel for VUHI where he will oversee regulatory filings for the utility group.

CEO Mark Wood has stepped down and will be replaced by the company’s CFO Zillah Byng-Maddick on April 1. Byng-Maddick had previously been the CFO and then interim CEO at Trader Media, publisher of Auto Trader. Prior to Trader Media she was CFO at Fitness First.<br /><br />The company released a statement with the usual positive sentiments, but this is a big deal for UK (and US) magazine publishing. Future plc has been an enthusiastic developer of digital editions with well over 100 iPads apps inside the Apple Newsstand. But these new digital editions, while they added some digital subscription revenue, did not appear to have stemmed the loss of advertising pages.<br /><br />Now, with the CFO promoted to CEO, one can expect major moves to reduce costs. The first of these moves will have a dramatic impact on the publisher’s US magazines. U.S. print production will be shifted from local to the UK.<br /><br />“With these changes, all US print support functions such as consumer marketing and production will move to teams in the UK hub,: a Future plc statement said.<br /><br />“Editorial leadership for Future’s international print brands in the US will now be centralised in the UK, with some limited localised contribution from the US. No brands will be closed as part of this realignment, but US headcount will reduce by approximately one third.”<br /><br />Two decades ago moves such as this was called reengineering. It was a big word that really meant managing by the cost side of the P&L. While at McGraw-Hill, our division was reengineered by a new division president, resulting in massive layoffs, and eventually his firing, as moves like this succeed at cutting costs but really have nothing to do with building revenues and developing the business. Back then the excuse used was either efficiencies or being more entrepreneurial. Today the word used is digital.<br /><br />“These changes enable Future’s US business to focus squarely on profitable operation of our core US digital brands, which have increased traffic by 40% in the past year and draw over 22 million unique user visits a month,” outgoing CEO Mark Wood said in the announcement for the move.<br /><br />The CFO, and soon to be CEO, went straight for the cost savings in her statement: “We are absolutely focused on driving a significant reduction in the cost base of the business to deliver sustained margin improvement. With this activity we have moved decisively to realign resources and build efficiencies while taking a major step towards being a 100% digital business in the US.

Oldfield defeated three-term incumbent Treasurer Johnny Countryman by 305 votes, 4,373 to 4,068, in the March 4 Republican Primary Election and is the presumptive new county treasurer as he is running unopposed in the general election. Oldfield\'s CPA license was suspended for a period of 24 months on March 27, 2014. In addition to the suspension, Oldfield was assessed an administrative penalty of $15,000 and administrative costs of $10,000.<br /><br />The Board Order was accepted and agreed to by Oldfield on February 21, 2014, two weeks prior to the March 4 Republican Primary election. In a statement to inForney.com, Oldfield said, “Its been a two-and-a-half year process with [the board]. It doesn’t interfere with me being able to do what I need to do for the county.”<br /><br />Oldfield said he disclosed the investigation to the voters during the candidate forums prior to the election and said it would not impact his duties with the county if elected. Being a county treasurer does not require a CPA license.<br /><br />The Agreed Consent Order states Oldfield must remove his name from any firm licensed with the board. However, Oldfield may perform accounting services as a non-licensee employee of a licensed CPA firm.<br /><br />According to Oldfield, Oldfield CPA has since been sold to an employee of the firm and, to comply with the order, Oldfield will remain an employee at the firm. Oldfield said he began planning the transition of ownership six or seven months ago when he began his campaign for treasurer.<br /><br />The Agreed Consent Order found Oldfield\'s firm conducted an audit of the Lawrence Water Supply Corporation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, during which time the firm\'s license was expired and that such audits \"did not comply with generally accepted auditing standards.\" The Board further found the firm did not participate in the mandatory peer review program and it \"has never reported a completed review.\"<br /><br />The Board also found Oldfield failed to respond to four requests in 2011 by the Board for copies of work papers and also failed to respond to a complaint filed in 2011.<br /><br />Oldfield was ordered to pay the penalty and administrative costs imposed in payments of $5000 every 90 days beginning 30 days after the entry of the Board Order until paid in full. Upon completion of the payments and suspension period, Oldfield\'s license will be subject to a \"scope limitation\" until such limitation is removed.<br /><br />The Board Order was accepted and agreed to by Oldfield on February 21, 2014, prior to its entry on March 27, 2014.<br /><br />In separate complaint filed in 2006, the TSBPA found Oldfield used several wrong IRS forms, falsely represented two employees as CPA\'s, failed to participate in the board\'s peer review program, and practiced public accountancy in an unregistered entity from 1998 through January 2007.

With one of the largest ever Series A investments for a biotech startup, Juno will build on breakthroughs in the design of novel immunotherapies to develop two distinct and complementary platforms – chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and T-cell receptors (TCRs). The CAR technology is designed to target cell surface antigens that are expressed on cancer cells. In addition, the high-affinity TCR technology can also detect alterations in intracellular proteins present in tumor cells. These treatments have potential to reduce longer-term toxicities associated with current chemotherapeutics. Juno\'s goal is to drive multiple product candidates in select hematologic and solid tumor cancers to FDA licensure. Each candidate has the potential to treat a variety of high-risk cancers.','','','\r\n	Seattle, WA- based Juno Therapeutics has announced appointment of Steve Harr as Chief Financial Officer.\r\n',2,1,'http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/juno-therapeutics-appoints-biotech-investment-banking-leader-steve-harr-as-cfo-and-head-of-corporate-development-253187121.html','','mirania',4,'Steve-Harr-Juno-Therapeutics-Chief-Financial-Officer-Appointed',0,'2014-06-06',0),(12329,18144,2737,'Chief Financial Officer','Mary Meixelsperger has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer  at DSW Inc.','2014-05-01','2014-04-17','COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DSW Inc.
