Jonathan Alpert Discusses CFOs in a Private Equity World, in CFO Studio Interview with Andrew Zezas

(Somerset, New Jersey): Andrew Zezas, SIOR, host of CFO Studio, Publisher of CFO Studio Magazine, and CEO of Real Estate Strategies Corporation, announced today that Jonathan Alpert, CFO, appeared in a guest interview on CFO Studio. Mr. Alpert’s discussion delved into the world of CFOs in private equity. The 10 minute video interview and a full transcript are both available at www.CFOstudio.com.

In Mr. Alpert’s interview, he provides an interesting analogy by relating sales and finance to skeet shooting. In terms of the role of the CFO to his team, Mr. Alpert said, “He’s got to feed them the information and ammunition needed to hit that target.” Andrew Zezas offered, “The CFO’s role has become tremendously complex and diverse in recent years, whether it’s in mid-cap companies, publicly-held, privately-held, entrepreneurial owned companies, or private equity owned companies.” He continued, “As a finance executive and advisor, Jonathan Alpert is well known among his peers. He is a board member of the NJ Chapter of Financial Executives International. His vast experience in finance and strategy, his understanding of the importance of sales to any organization, and his business partner approach has propelled him as a thought-leader in the business community.”
