Goodyear vice president of finance Laura Thompson was named to Treasury & Risk magazine’s 2012 list of 30 Outstanding Women in Finance.
Thompson directs finance for the tiremaker’s North American Tire unit, and is also the executive in charge of developing Goodyear’s new headquarters in Akron.
“Laura is an influential leader and a valuable member of our finance organization with a natural ability to inspire teamwork and motivate others,” said Darren Wells, executive vice president and CFO. “She is very deserving of this honor.”
Each year the editors of Treasury & Risk compile a list of women in corporate finance who have made a difference to their companies and their industries. The list and accompanying editorial content can be found online at treasuryandrisk.com and in the magazine’s April/May issue.
