Acxiom(R) CFO to Discuss Balancing Short-Term Goals With Long-Term Gains at CSC Executive Exchange
July 13 2006 - 11:31AM
Business Wire
Frank Cotroneo, chief financial officer for Acxiom(R) Corporation
(Nasdaq: ACXM), will participate in a panel of top executives at
the CSC Executive Exchange for a discussion on the need for
balancing short-term goals with long-term viability and growth. The
panel, entitled What's More Important: Earnings or Growth?, is part
of a conference that will focus on how Wall Street quarterly
expectations can create pressure on management teams to meet or
exceed their quarterly earnings targets, a dynamic that often
challenges management to place far greater emphasis on meeting
potentially short-sighted short-term goals at the expense of
long-term gains. In addition to Cotroneo, the panel discussion on
July 18 will feature executives from Chubb & Son, Donaldson
Company and Siemens Energy & Automation. Cotroneo, named
Acxiom's CFO in May, also has served as CFO of H&R Block and as
senior vice president/CFO of MasterCard International. The CSC
Executive Exchange, sponsored by Computer Sciences Corporation,
provides an opportunity for senior executives of major corporations
with revenues exceeding $1 billion to interact with the world's
foremost authorities - business leaders, government leaders,
authors and academics from all fields - on the most challenging
business topics of today. Featured speakers at this year's event
include Steve Forbes, president and chief executive officer of
Forbes, Inc., and editor of Forbes magazine, and Neil Cavuto, vice
president, anchor and managing editor of Fox News. About Acxiom
