This is an exciting time to be joining Patrick and given my experience in public accounting, the marine industry, and public company management, I’m excited to support the Company’s objectives for profitable organic and strategic growth.”
“We want to sincerely thank Matt Filer who served as our Interim CFO since May 2023 allowing us the opportunity to patiently search for our permanent CFO, while still driving and delivering on our strategic plan,” continued Nemeth. “Matt stepped into the role and performed these additional duties and responsibilities expertly and professionally, especially in light of the dynamic conditions and challenges our end markets faced last year. During his tenure as Interim CFO, Matt was instrumental in leading the finance function with our team with a focus on operational improvements and utilization of data insights to drive business results. Matt will resume his previous role and growth trajectory as senior vice president finance in addition to taking on the role of corporate controller, while providing support to Andy as he begins his new role.”
