Tuesday, July 16, 2024 by Chad Swiatecki
Austin’s Chief Financial Officer Ed Van Eenoo was named one of the top financial minds in the city recently, earning one of eight spots in Austin Business Journal’s annual awards recognizing the best CFOs in the Austin business scene. Van Eenoo was selected in the nonprofit category and highlighted for helping to bring a balanced draft budget of roughly $5.6 billion to City Council last week. ABJ also noted his role in negotiating a stalled land swap deal with Oracle Corp. that netted the city 50 acres of future parkland, as well as for helping to reorganize the city’s Real Estate Services and Capital Delivery divisions. Other notable CFOs recognized include David Mehok of the Q2 financial technology company, which has the naming rights for the Austin FC soccer stadium, and Matt Vonderahe of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, which was recently purchased by Sony Pictures.
