Review of the 2020 DFCG Awards

Grant Alexander was a partner for the 21st edition of the CFO of the Year Trophy and the Young Finance Professional Award, a major event for corporate finance professionals.

Organized by the DFCG, the award ceremony for the CFO Trophy and the Young Finance Professional Award took place on Wednesday, December 16, in a 100% digital format. The President of DFCG, Daniel Bacqueroët, had the honor of presenting the two awards. As a partner of the event, our group was present during the ceremony.

The CFO Trophy was awarded to Eric Heurtaux of Worldline Global. In a rapidly transforming sector, this CFO stood out for his strategic skills and his commitment to external growth, aiming to achieve economies of scale for the company.

For the Young Finance Professional Award, the jury chose to highlight a female career path. Marie Best, VP of Finance at Mirakl, was recognized for the success of the startup’s fundraising, completed in a very short timeframe with limited resources. Marie Best became the 4th woman to win an award at this ceremony.

Our two consultants specialized in the Finance function carried out the identification, selection, and support of candidates throughout the process. Marie Paillard, Partner at Grant Alexander – Executive Interim, and Grégoire Beaurain, Director of the Finance Practice at Grant Alexander – Executive Search, coached and assisted the five nominees during the pre-selection jury and the “Grand Oral.”
