"I am honored to be recognized by local business leaders while supporting local youth programs," said Rob Hull, Founder, President and CFO of Adaptive Planning. "This is particularly rewarding since it recognizes the important role that Adaptive Planning is playing in helping CFOs and other finance professionals more successfully manage their businesses, both in the Bay Area business community, where we're working with well over 100 companies, as well as worldwide, where we now have over 1,200 customers."

Adaptive Planning's CFO Rob Hull was recognized as a finalist in the "Emerging Company" category for making an outstanding contribution to his company's performance as evidenced by significant growth and by recognition of the company as a leader in its industry.
