“Paul has proven himself to be a great strategic partner to me and the Board as we position the organization for future growth and development,” said Chairman & CEO David R. Brooks. “His deep understanding of complex finance and technology disciplines, coupled with the strong relationships he’s built across the organization, give the Board and I great confidence that he is the ideal strategic CFO to help us execute our plan.”
