Paula Graff, Nortech Systems Inc.
Title: Vice president and chief financial officer
Paula Graff is continuing to help Nortech Systems Inc. respond quickly to client needs with her promotion to vice president and chief financial officer at the Wayzata-based full-service electronics manufacturing services company.
In her new role, Graff works with the company's leadership team to develop strategy and goals while also overseeing finance, treasury, internal audit, information technology and human resources for the company and its seven manufacturing locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mexico.
Graff, who joined Nortech in May as director of finance, said she appreciated the opportunity to expand her role at the company.
"Nortech is a business with growth potential and has great products and high-quality customer relationships and it's serving a growth industry, so I knew this would be a great position to get into," she said.
Graff said she planned to apply the same continuous improvement process Nortech uses in operations to its finance and corporate areas.
"We have to be adding value to the company from a corporate point of view," Graff said. "To do that, we have to make sure our processes are in place."
