Summary:Franklin Electric treasury operations manager Ernest Humphrey began in economics, but eventually secured a marketing position with the company, and was from there able to move into treasury. As with any successful party, the tasks associated with planning and executing a good treasury operation are varied. In recent years, Humphrey has had to figure out how to process tax and payroll for a Mexican subsidiary using a Spanish language-based system, negotiate with a senior executive to convince him to lease part of a building related to an acquisition that he did not want, and return cars and coordinate title transfers for employees relocating overseas -- responsibilities that were not necessarily part of his job description.
