CMF Associates announced that managing director Thomas Bonney will be honored this year as an Outstanding Director by the Philadelphia Business Journal and premium sponsors Chase, Dechert LLP, Ernst & Young and the Philadelphia Chapter of the National Association of Corporate Directors.

Bonney is being recognized for his work on the LEBLON board, where he’s played a key role in growing the business from an idea to an international brand.

“[Tom] has proven to be an invaluable asset to me as CEO and to the company – we would likely be in a very different financial and operational position if it were not for his forward-thinking, insight and intelligent decision-making at critical junctures of our growth,” said Steve Luttmann, CEO of LEBLON. “We are lucky to have him on our board.”

Bonney will join nine other Philadelphia-area honorees on Thursday, March 14, 2013 at the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia to accept his award.

CMF Associates is a provider of financial, operational, and human capital solutions to private equity, middle-market, and small cap public companies.
