FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DENVER, Colo. – January 17, 2012 – SquareTwo Financial, a leader in the $100 billion asset recovery and management industry, today announced that industry-leading Chief Executive magazine has published an article about leadership and technology written by Paul A. Larkins, the company’s president and chief executive officer.

The article, “Seven Strategies for Driving Technological Advances,” provides insight into the role the CEO should have when it comes to making decisions about the company’s technology investments. According to Larkins, it’s imperative that the CEO have a strong understanding of the industry’s best technological practices and work closely with the chief information officer to make technology decisions.

Earlier this year, Larkins played an instrumental role in SquareTwo Financial’s decision to make a substantial investment in a new technology platform to improve the core system that runs the company’s business.

“We were considering two solutions, one a less expensive in-house option, or the more expensive, cutting edge option that had yet to be deployed in the commercial marketplace,” said Larkins. “We went with the new platform and our aggressive approach is paying off. Regardless of a company’s focus, a relentless commitment to technology is vital in today’s business climate.”

Chief Executive magazine focuses on the unique leadership concerns of CEOs and provides ideas, strategies, and tactics business leaders can use to create more effective organizations. The magazine is read by some of the most influential CEOs in the world and is published by The Chief Executive Group, LP.
