Salus Capital announced that Chief Financial Officer Robert F. Kuppens was named by the Boston Business Journal as a finalist for CFO of the Year in the Midsize Private Company category. The finalists were honored at a luncheon at the Sheraton Boston Back Bay Hotel on July 31. The awards, honoring those who have made a difference in their companies and communities in the Boston area, featured a keynote from Kenneth Feinberg, who is administering the One Fund Boston, a charity that Salus Capital is proud to have supported.

“Our entire team at Salus Capital is extremely proud of Rob. Although competitive, it comes as no surprise to us that he was selected as a finalist for the Boston Business Journal’s CFO of the Year award,” said Andrew H. Moser, president of Salus Capital Partners, LLC. “We are thrilled that Rob got the recognition he deserves for his hard work day in and day out. Rob is truly an outstanding CFO and his work and leadership at the firm has been essential to our growth and team development.”

“I am honored to have been selected as a finalist for this award, but it really speaks to the great successes that everyone at Salus has enjoyed over the past years,” said Robert F. Kuppens, CFO of Salus Capital Partners, LLC. “We’ve all worked hard to get the company where it is today and I’m privileged to have played a part in it all.”
