Family Centers recently announced the appointment of Stephanie Johnson to Chief Financial Officer.
In her new role, Johnson will manage all finance and accounting aspects of Family Centers’ operation while upholding the organization’s commitment to fiscal responsibility. She succeeds outgoing CFO Piera Iori, who retired in January after 40 years of service.
Prior to joining Family Centers, Johnson held executive-level finance positions at a variety of public companies and venture capital-backed firms. Most recently, she managed finance and human resources for Norwalk-based textbook solutions provider Akademos.
“We are excited to have Stephanie as part of our team,” said Family Centers’ CEO Bob Arnold. “Not only does she have a wealth of financial expertise, but she brings an element of creativity that will benefit our organization. She is also committed to the pursuit of efficiency within our Finance Department.”
