Mark Cammarata of 3PL Leader Sunset Transportation Honored as St. Louis CFO of the Year

ST. LOUIS - Mark Cammarata, chief financial officer of Sunset Transportation, was recently named 2015 CFO of the Year by the St. Louis Business Journal in the small corporation category. This award recognizes Cammarata as one of the best financial stewards in the city for his pivotal leadership, expertise and client-first service at Sunset.

Since joining the third party logistics (3PL) leader in 2006, the CFO has been key to the overall success of Sunset, its agents and clients, especially in sustaining the company’s double-digit growth over the last several years.

While overseeing Sunset’s finance, information technology and human resources, Cammarata has enhanced financial measurables and analytics, elevating the business while limiting overall exposure and risks. He has also designed reporting and fiscal benchmarks for accounting, employee benefit programs, systems management and building maintenance to support Sunset’s growing footprint at its St. Louis headquarters and its four branches across the U.S.

As a core member of Sunset’s four-person executive management team, Cammarata’s analysis sets the stage for budgeting, office and personnel expansion, employee incentives and market share growth across Sunset.

Our 3PL business is driven by metrics and numbers, and Mark’s ability to translate our financial capabilities into useable data has helped us create success across every facet of our organization,” said Lindsey Graves, vice president of operations. “Mark also excels at understanding people and different styles of communication. His finesse as an interpreter helps bridge communication gaps, and his calm, consistent leadership style is a steadying force in the organization.”

To Cammarata, earning this award is confirmation that Sunset’s dedication to excellence is resulting in better service and stability for customers and employees.

“Winning this award is an honor that reflects on the high standards of ethics and fiscal responsibility embraced by our entire company—it’s confirmation that we’re excelling in our commitments to our customers and industry partners. We’re focused on helping our customers become more profitable, while also building a solid, sustainable future as a company,” said Cammarata.

The St. Louis Business Journal’s CFO of the Year awards are given annually to honor the St. Louis area’s top financial executives in four categories. The award will be presented to Cammarata on May 21 at the CFO of the Year Awards event at the Chase Park Plaza in downtown St. Louis.
