Hi Seniors, I am working for a US-based multinational company. I have just completed my one-year tenure in this organization. Since joining, I have successfully reduced industrial relations problems and improved training and development initiatives in the organization. I have also implemented employee benefit schemes, etc.
I report directly to the Director of HR, who is based in the US, and she was very pleased with my performance. However, she has recently left the organization, and now I report directly to the CFO.
Seeking Advice on Salary Increment Request
As I have completed my one-year tenure, it is time for a reward. I am unsure how to approach the CFO to express my need for a salary increment. Please suggest how I should proceed in a professional manner so that he views this request positively.

You should have taken some sort of an Appreciation Letter/Mail from the Director of HR before she left. This would have given you a good way to handle the issue. In the present context, maybe you can send a polite email to the CFO inquiring if you will be eligible for any increment since you have completed 1 year—which is different from 'asking' for it. Also, you can summarize your efforts/achievements since the time you joined in a few lines. Here, I presume it's your company policy to give increments after 1 year of joining. Also, suggest waiting for other members to respond.

Generally, an HR director would have organized such things before exiting the company. However, without knowing the reasons for her departure, it would not be appropriate to comment on that part.
If you have a company policy for yearly increments (which most companies have), I guess you need not worry about the same. If you presume that nothing is happening, then you can surely send an email as suggested by TS.
