SANTA ANA, Calif. — Allied Universal, a leading security and facility services company in North America, announces that Drew Vollero has received the Orange County Business Journal’s CFO of the Year Award for a private company.
Vollero received the honor at the 13th Annual CFO of the Year Awards held at the Hotel Irvine on Jan. 30.
“Drew Vollero has had a profound impact at Allied Universal since joining the company in 2018,” says Steve Jones, CEO, Allied Universal. “Drew is an exemplary leader and we are honored that he received this amazing recognition.”
Vollero was the first CFO of Snap, also known as Snapchat, who built the function from scratch and helped guide the company to an initial public offering, one of the largest IPOs in U.S. history.
As a key strategic partner to Jones, he has played a lead role in the acquisition of nine companies in 2019 and completed the successful sale of Allied Universal to new ownership with improvements in the capital structure.
In addition, Vollero has focused his efforts on building a world class financial function through the addition of talented leaders, enhanced processes and useful technology, according to the announcement.
In conjunction with key leaders at Allied Universal, Vollero continues to drive sales growth, lower costs and improve cash flow. He earned a bachelor’s degree in math and economics with high honors from Yale University, and holds a master’s degree in management from Oxford University, the announcement states.
