CFO Retiring
After more than a decade as Braxton-Bragg’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Mr. Dave Jester has decided to retire. Everyone at Braxton-Bragg that has worked with Dave will miss him and his leadership dearly. We wish Dave lots of sunny days in his retirement and hope that he’ll stop by occasionally for a visit.
As the company moves forward, Mr. Jester’s replacement is Mr. Patrik Knudsen as the new company CFO. Patrik is a growth, compliance and efficiency-driven senior finance executive.
“Patrik comes to Braxton-Bragg with a proven track record of managing profitability and eliminating inefficiencies,” says Braxton-Bragg CEO Rick Stimac. “This strategic financial expertise and leadership will maximize our ability to provide our customers with world class service.”
Knudsen’s most recent experience includes a short stint as Ceramaspeed CFO, and prior to that, he was CFO for HTC, Inc. for a decade. HTC is a global leader in supplying concrete grinding and polishing equipment.
“During their twenty-fifth anniversary year, Braxton-Bragg has partnered with many new manufacturers to expanded its breadth of products, including large equipment,” said Knudsen. “This growth makes now the perfect time to take a more strategic and streamlined approach to finances, and I am happy to lead this effort with a capable team.”
