STAMFORD – Charter Oak Communities (COC) has promoted Sam Feda to CFO. He replaces Lisa Reynolds, who recently retired.
Feda, a Trumbull resident who joined COC out of college in 2010, advanced through several positions of increasing responsibility including accountant, finance manager and director of finance prior to becoming CFO.
During his time at COC, the organization has transformed its Finance Department, refining its processes, adopting new technologies and producing increasingly strong audit results, all while doubling its staff to accommodate continued growth in volumes and complexity. COC is the major provider of high quality, affordable homes for thousands of low- and moderate-income Stamford families and market-rate residents.
As CFO, Feda is responsible for the financial management of COC and its real estate development subsidiary, Rippowam Corp., ensuring financial strength and sustainability, backed up by strict controls. He also oversees the organization’s Information Technology and Risk Management departments.
“I’ve always enjoyed the numbers, and at COC I’ve been able to learn, grow and put those skills to good work – both for the company and our residents,” Feda said. “It’s also very fulfilling to be part of such a collaborative team and to see how COC has redeveloped and improved its properties over the years.”
Feda grew up in Stamford and Greenwich and graduated from Greenwich High School. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in finance from La Salle University, an MBA from Sacred Heart University and a Certified Management Accountant designation.
