Editor-in-Chief

Tom Leander was appointed editor-in-chief of CFO Asia magazine in December 2001, after serving as deputy editor since November 1999. He has covered CFO stories across Asia, from profiling top CFOs in China to exploring how one CFO successfully fought local unions by teaching finance to coal miners in a mine north of Hyderabad. Leander’s story, “The Great Debate,” the first cover to be published globally by all three CFO magazines, won an award for feature writing from the American Society of Business Publications Editors for 2001.

Leander previously worked at Global Finance magazine in New York as managing editor, and traveled frequently to Asia to cover the market's boom and subsequent collapse. Prior to that, he worked with Stern Stewart & Co., the creator of economic value added. He was vice president of the EVA Institute, a forum for EVA companies.
