Boca Raton, FL – January 2, 2014 – Modernizing Medicine, Inc. announced today that the South Florida Business Journal selected its Chief Financial Officer Karen O’Byrne as a finalist in this year’s CFO Awards. The award recognizes top financial executives across the region, selecting winners based on financial management, strategic thinking and contributions to corporate reputation.
Karen joined Modernizing Medicine in 2011 and helped grow the company from 20 to 150 team members. Her accomplishments include introducing foundational account and revenue recognition policies, as well as employee affiliate programs, as part of an effort to maximize employee satisfaction and recruitment initiatives.
