Payment Alliance International Executive Named 2012 CFO of the Year

Payment Alliance International (PAI), a leader in electronic payment processing solutions, is pleased to announce today that David Kozal, senior vice president and chief financial officer, was named 2012 CFO of the Year by Business First of Louisville. Kozal’s award was in the very large private company category for businesses realizing more than $100 million in annual revenue.

The 2012 CFO of the Year awards ceremony was the fourth-annual event sponsored by Business First, Louisville’s business news journal. Over four hundred people attended the luncheon held Thursday, June 21 at The Henry Clay located in downtown Louisville. Twenty-two CFO finalists were honored with eight winners selected in categories ranging from small to very large private companies, public companies, not-for-profit organizations, plus community service. Five judges from a variety of Louisville-area industries had the difficult task of selecting this year’s winners, with four of the judges having previously been CFO of the Year award recipients themselves. This year’s recipients gave brief acceptance speeches after receiving their awards.

“I was truly honored to have been named a finalist for the CFO of the Year award, and I’m both thrilled and humbled to have actually won the award,” states Kozal. “All the nominees are well-respected financial leaders in their industries. I am very proud to be recognized alongside these outstanding members of the Louisville business community.”

Both award winners and finalists were featured in a special CFO of the Year publication, which was included as part of the June 22, 2012 print edition of Business First.
