LoneStar Group Announcement
New CFO
It gives me great pleasure to announce that Michael Stock has recently joined the LoneStar Group as Chief Financial Officer. Gary Kulesza has returned to his role as Operating Partner within AEA and I would like to thank him for his support and leadership as Interim CFO.
Michael has over twenty years experience in international industrial, manufacturing and distribution businesses, including Interserve, Ingersoll Rand, Premier Farnell and Metalrax. More recently as CFO of Multisol, Michael oversaw the sale of the Multisol Group to a global trade buyer in 2011.
During his career, Michael has contributed significantly to the delivery of both organic and acquisition led growth, in addition to the implementation of world class financial controls. These skills and experiences will be invaluable to support the development and growth of the LoneStar Group in the coming months and years. In addition to leadership of the group financial functions, Michael will be a main board director and a member of the executive team.
Michael adds...'Having spent a little time within the business already and met with some of you at the recent sales and management conference, I have gained a clear impression of the opportunities that we have at LoneStar and what we need to do to secure them. I am confident that my background will complement our highly talented team and that together we will realise our goals.'
I am sure you will join me in welcoming Michael and supporting him in this vital role for the LoneStar Group.
