Most recently I had the honor to join Shermco Industries (Gryphon Portco), which is North Americas largest and fastest growing B2B electrical testing organization. I was drawn to Shermco because of its leadership team, long tenured blue-chip customers, culture, strong private equity backer and the highly fragmented growing market it serves. My team is responsible for all aspects of finance. I'm proud to lead an honest, hard-working team that is dedicated to driving profitable growth, managing a strong balance sheet and controlling net working capital. I'm excited to bring decades of finance and leadership experience to a new industry and serve a great team. Prior to Shermco, my colleagues and I completed an extremely successful exit with the sale of HEPACO (another Gryphon Portco) to CleanHabors(CLH; NYSE). Prior to that, I spent 17 years working with great team members to build industry leaders XPOLogistics (XPO: NYSE) and United Rentals Inc.(URI: NYSE) At XPO, I served as CFO for the $5B+ North American Transportation division within XPO Logistics (now traded as RXO on NYSE). My finance team supported 5 lines of business and 10 customer services spanning the US, Mexico and Canada with a workforce of over 7,000 in 176 locations. We built a results-oriented culture based on honesty, trust, effort, business partnership and a willingness to do what is right. The team drove outstanding results built on strong partnerships and purposeful alignment with sales, operations, technology and human resources.
