Neil Lee, Chief Financial Officer of Loffler Companies, was chosen as an honoree for CFO of the Year by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. Nominees were chosen by a panel consisting of other financial executives who scored them on criteria ranging from the use of contributions, to their company’s finances and management, to the individual’s community involvement.

Neil was one of only two honorees chosen in the medium-size private company category. The winners will be introduced at a luncheon and profiled in a special publication.

“I am incredibly honored to be recognized by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal,” says Neil Lee, Loffler’s Chief Financial Officer. “I am privileged to work with a fantastic team that supports me and everything we do at Loffler to serve our clients. We work hard every day to create a positive experience to exceed everyone’s expectations.”

As part of the senior leadership team at Loffler Companies, Neil is an integral part of determining strategy and direction for the company and is a key factor in the success Loffler has experienced during his tenure. He is currently leading Loffler’s Traction initiative, helping the organization to clarify, simplify, and achieve their vision. His leadership in this initiative will help Loffler continue on a profitable revenue growth path for the next decade and beyond. Neil was recently given the Loffler Eagle Award, Loffler Companies’ top award recognizing him for his dedication, excellence and achievements beyond expectations.

“Neil provides leadership, vision, integrity, focus, and financial accountability and direction that are key elements in the on-going double-digit profit and revenue growth of Loffler Companies,” says Jim Loffler, President and CEO. “As a dedicated Loffler employee for the past nine years, his work has definitely contributed to the robust growth of the company.”

As an active member of the community, Neil serves as the Vice Chair on the board for Raising Our Celiac Kids (ROCK), a Twin Cities non-profit group made up of volunteers that provides information and support for families whose children have celiac disease. Neil and his wife, Julie Jones, along with a handful of other families, were instrumental in forming the organization more than ten years ago, and remain dedicated to the organization. Neil is also active in the community through other personal contributions, including coaching his children’s sports teams.

Neil’s leadership contributes to a work environment that has earned Loffler distinctions from Inc. 5000 magazine as a Fastest Growing Private Companies in America for six consecutive years. Loffler employees respond to his leadership and guidance, completing surveys that have earned the company a place on the StarTribune’s “Top Workplace” list and Minnesota Business magazine’s “100 Best Places to Work in Minnesota.”
