Augustana Names New CFO

Augustana College

A graduate of Augustana College will return to campus to work as chief financial officer. On Friday, the college announced the hiring of Kirk Anderson, currently an associate director of procurement finance at Kraft-Heinz Foods in Northfield, Illinois. 

Anderson will start his new job in December. 
He graduated in 1993, and since then has spent 20 years working in accounting and finance, including 15 years at Kraft. He also served as the plant controller at the Oscar Mayer plant in Davenport, from 2009 through 2011.

The search began last spring following the resignation of David English - after 3 years at Augustana he left to become chief financial officer for Denison University in Ohio.

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
