Vlkanová, Slovakia - GEVORKYAN, a.s., a global leader in powder metallurgy, is proud to announce that its CFO, Andrej Bátovský, has been awarded the prestigious CFO of the Year 2023 award.
CFO of the Year is an award for CFOs in Slovakia. The candidates are nominated by an expert committee, which, in addition to the announcer, - CFO Club in Slovakia - also consists of other professional partners - BDO, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC and SAF. They take into account not only the financial results of their companies, but especially their impact on the results achieved and their approach to modern financial management.
"It's all about hard work combined with a bit of luck. Undeniably, a huge part of the success is family and background, but I was lucky, besides my wife and family, I was lucky to have the boss I have, Mr. Artur Gevorkyan. He leads us, he built the company and I was able to achieve this in his company. I probably couldn't have done it elsewhere. It means a lot to me, but it's one of the things in life that you only realise with the passage of time." Andrej Bátovský reacted to the award.
Zuzana Slovincová, Executive Director of the CFO Club added: "The competitors were strong, all 7 finalists displayed equal qualities, but it was lovely to see that the public, being part of the voting and participating in final decision on the winner, was behind Mr. Bátovský. What he has done is a unique phenomenon in the Slovak market, because entering the Prague Stock Exchange in such a short time and in such difficult times, during the ongoing war in Ukraine, is not something that just anyone can do, and to subscribe for shares worth € 27 million is a historic achievement. We are proud of him as well, and it is also an excellent precedent for Slovak companies that money can be raised through hard work even through the stock exchange."
Artur Gevorkyan, founder of GEVORKYAN, adds to the congratulations: "I want to thank Andrej's parents for raising such a hardworking, modest, decent, and smart man, and his wife Andrejka, who stood by him during these - for all of us - difficult years. Andrej's story only reassures us of our company philosophy - to give talented people a chance."
