NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top Women Chief Financial Officers of 2025. As the financial stewards of their organizations, these CFOs oversee all aspects of finance, ensuring stability while playing a critical role in shaping long-term strategy. Beyond finance functions, these leaders drive innovation, sustainability, and growth, leveraging sharp analytical skills and a deep understanding of risk management. Their collaborative leadership not only navigates complex challenges but also positions their organizations to succeed.
Among this year's honorees is Cathy Nadeau, Chief Financial Officer of The Juilliard School. Nadeau has led long-range planning scenarios and developed pro forma financials to guide business valuation for multi-billion-dollar transactions. Her expertise includes executing mergers, divestitures, and spin-off transactions, and notably, she delivered $1.2 billion in cost savings and margin improvements for Xerox within two years on a $10 billion revenue base.
We also celebrate Anna Ricardo, Chief Financial Officer of MeriCal. Ricardo is currently leading the turnaround of a $900 million manufacturer in the healthcare sector, leveraging her expertise in financial and operational control to drive manufacturing growth and profitability. She is solely responsible for pricing revenue exceeding $70 million annually and driving cost reductions surpassing $40 million each year.
Lastly, we honor Paula Weger, Chief Financial Officer of Senox Corporation. Weger has successfully resolved over $1 billion in annual liabilities from vendors by securing a global cargo insurance policy and transferring risks from their balance sheets to her organization. Additionally, she implemented an alternative shipping method for customers, resulting in cost savings of over $300,000 per project.
