He has been a true partner over the last several years and has played an integral role in setting and achieving our strategic and financial commitments," said George Oliver, chairman and CEO.

Successful leadership changeover

"As Brian completes his last year as our chief financial officer, I welcome him to the vice chairman role in recognition of all his efforts and look to his leadership for an orderly and smooth transition when his successor is announced," Oliver added.
