Professional, faith lives come together for new CFO

Brian T. Olszewski reports in our Catholic Herald that John J. Marek is to become Chief Financial Officer of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee today.
His work history includes vice president-finance and CFO since 2000 at InPro Corporation, which sells products used in construction, primarily in the health care field. Prior to joining InPro, Marek, who holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in business from UW – Madison, spent 21 years in the sports division of Huffy Corporation, including 13 as vice president and controller.

He just might have Peter Drucker's Managing the Non-Profit Organization on his bookshelf.
"It's a matter of taking skills and experiences and not saying, 'I'm moving into the non-profit and I’m going to try to run it the same way things ran in the corporate world,' " he explained. "It's taking how do things get done, how do you work with people effectively, and find ways to take techniques, experiences and bring them into the not-for-profit world.

Rather than the "new" CFO, he might be considered coadjutor.
Marek will work alongside the archdiocese's current CFO, Wayne Schneider, who will retire at the end of June.

The CFO is a member of the Archbishop's Executive Council.
