Best Buy : Get to know Best Buy's new CFO

Best Buy on Wednesday announced that company veteran Matt Bilunas will be our next chief financial officer. He replaces Corie Barry, who served in the role for three years before becoming CEO in June.

I think it's important to see all sides of the business - whether it's in the field or here at corporate - to get a true appreciation for the amazing work our associates do every day. It's all about helping our customers find technology to enrich their lives.
