August 4, 2022
Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) announced The Cannata Report has named Holly DeSantis, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as one of its 2022 Women Influencers.
The honour is showcased in the annual Women Influencers issue that demonstrates its dedication to acknowledging and promoting vital contributions made by women in the industry. This year’s cover story, ‘A Delicate Balance,’ showcases three female CFOs making a distinct impact in their organisations.
Holly DeSantis is responsible for the finances of Konica Minolta’s North American operations. She oversees all aspects of corporate finance, credit and collections, accounting, financial planning, analysis and reporting, tax, procurement, payroll, commissions, real estate, compliance, and M&A activities. DeSantis has held numerous executive management roles during her 26-year career at the company. Earlier this year she was promoted to her current role and is the first female at the company to hold the CFO position.
DeSantis was also recently named to the 2022 NJBIZ Leaders in Finance list.
“It came as no surprise to us that Holly was chosen by The Cannata Report to be part of its Women Influencers program. She has played a key strategic role in many of our company’s major milestones, including the acquisitions of Depth Security in 2020, All Covered in 2011 and the merger between Konica and Minolta in 2003,” said Sam Errigo, President and CEO, Konica Minolta. “Holly continually demonstrates tremendous knowledge, entrepreneurialism and open mindedness, and has a natural talent for establishing rapport with new management. Congratulations to Holly on this well-deserved recognition!”
“It is such an honour to be named a Women Influencer by The Cannata Report, and in the company of two other outstanding financial leaders from our industry,” said DeSantis. “The theme of this year’s programme addresses such an important topic, which has been a particular challenge during the last two and a half years. We are all trying to balance not only our responsibilities at home and work, but how to navigate the new hybrid work environment to ensure success while maintaining a healthy mindset. Thank you to the Cannatas for bringing this topic to the forefront.”
“It’s our honour to recognise Holly DeSantis as one of our 2022 Women Influencers. She is an innovator and forward-thinking leader heralded by her peers and colleagues for her wide-ranging talents and achievements,” said CJ Cannata, President and CEO, The Cannata Report. “Her career path is empowering to all women in the industry, and she serves as a role model for all.”
