From the supplier: Warnaco CEO Linda J. Wachner is known for her keen understanding of cash management. The three things she always emphasizes to Warnaco senior executives is to get the product right, reduce overhead and maximize cash flow. The last can be done through effective and efficient collection of receivables. Wachner's cash flow discipline has carried the apparel manufacturer through a hostile leverage buyout and helped transform it into a profitable company. She has raised return on earnings by 30%, increased shareholders equity to $141 million and cut debt by 35%. Given the effort she puts into ensuring Warnaco's continued success, Wachner believes that she deserves the $3.6 million in salary and bonus she is getting. She admits that she can be tough on the people she works with, but Wachner contends that she is also fair.
