Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis

In Panama City Beach, there’s a famous seafood restaurant called Capt. Anderson’s. Owned by the Patronis family since it opened, Capt. Anderson’s has been serving Panama City Beach as for just over fifty years. For Jimmy Patronis, clocking in at Capt. Anderson’s from the time he was a teenager helped prepare him for his current job as Florida’s Chief Financial Officer. “Up until I took the job as CFO, my brothers and I still clocked in and clocked out every day […] That was probably what taught us to be loyal to the business, understanding that it boils down to managing people, and taking care of the customer, and keeping the trains running on time.”
