Finance Monthly CFO Awards 2016 Winners Edition

www.finance-monthly.com Rich Antoneck CFO at Veritext Corp Rich Antoneck Rich Antoneck – CFO of Veritext Corp in Livingston, New Jersey since November 2011. As CFO at Veritext, I lead all of our finance, accounting, human resources and acquisition efforts. I also manage all relationships with our lending groups and banks. I started my career in public accounting at a small firm in New York City and after 2 years moved over to Thomson Reuters where I spent almost 10 years. While at Thomson I had great exposure to many of the senior management team and was able to gain valuable experience in acquisitions, new product development, internal business re-alignments and ultimately business divestitures. My last project at Thomson was the sale of Thomson Media to private equity firm, Investcorp International. I was offered a great opportunity as part of this transaction to shift my career to that of a CFO in the private equity world. I went on to work as CFO of three different successful portfolio companies of Investcorp from 2004 to 2016. The last of these three companies was Veritext, where I am still CFO today. Veritext was recently sold from Investcorp to private equity firm Pamplona Capital Management in January 2016. I work daily with all of our Regional Vice Presidents around deploying our business and acquisition strategies. We are a very acquisitive company, having completed 15 acquisitions in the last 26 months. I also work with our finance and human resources teams daily to ensure that our employees and financial reporting are all running smoothly. When you are the leader in your market space, you have to work harder than everyone as someone is always looking to take that top spot. We are fortunate to work with the very best independent court reporters in the industry and pride ourselves on customer service. These two attributes are what allow us to continue to lead our industry. About Rich Antoneck & Veritext Corp When I joined in 2011 the business was not operating in most efficient manner possible. I spent the first two years of my time here working closely with our accounting, technology and operational teams to automate and centralize as many financial processes as possible. The success of this effort has allowed Veritext to grow at double digits every year without adding to our infrastructure costs. At Veritext we aim to work with and enhance the opportunities and experiences of our three constituents every day. This includes (1) our employees, (2) the very best independent contractor / court reporters and (3) our clients. Focusing on best in class customer service with each of these constituents is the back-bone of our company culture. The days of a CFO being just a “numbers” person are over. CFO’s of today and tomorrow must know the operations of the business and be a leader in developing and deploying the strategies of the business. The CFO must be a partner to the CEO and all other managers at the company!
