CNF’s Jon Garcia Named C-Suite Awards Honoree

By Jeannette E. Garcia  –  Reporter, San Antonio Business Journal

 

In a year filled with uncertainty and lots of loss, it took fierce leadership for local companies to survive, pivot and adapt to our environment.

Roughly 42% of the U.S. labor force worked from home at the peak of the pandemic, according to a June 2020 study by Stanford University.

While there were many shining examples of how C-suite executives led throughout the work-from-home economy caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, these 20 executives — 15 with titles of CEO or president and five with other C-suite titles — have been chosen as the Business Journal’s 2021 C-Suite Award winners.

The C-Suite Awards will be presented during an evening event on Sept. 9 with a location to be named on a later date. Each of the honorees will receive an award, as well as be featured in a subsequent Business Journal special publication.
