TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 16, 2010 — Executive search and assessment firm Sanford Rose Associates(R) – Toledo today announced the successful completion of the search for the North America Zone Controller (CFO) at Haulotte US, Inc. / Bil-Jax, Inc., a subsidiary of Lyon, France-based Haulotte Group, one of the world's largest manufacturers of aerial lifts, interior/exterior scaffolding, and a variety of other construction-related equipment.
Counsel provided by Sanford Rose Associates – Toledo culminated in the successful recruitment of Lynn A. Yarnell to Haulotte. Yarnell joined the company on August 25 and succeeds outgoing CFO Tom Truesdale, who announced his retirement after 17 years with the company.
"Today's challenging environment in global construction has created tremendous financial pressure on manufacturers who serve these segments, which in turn has created pressure for top-performing global competitors to find top leaders with the right mix of skills, experience, and cultural fit in order to ensure the continued success of their organizations," said Todd Ziems, Managing Partner of Sanford Rose Associates – Toledo. "We were honored to work with Haulotte and find a candidate with strong finance acumen and management abilities to help move their North American growth strategy forward."
Yarnell will draw upon her 20 years' experience in financial leadership roles with companies like Aeroquip (Eaton) and Tenneco, Inc. to successfully lead the finance and accounting functions for the Haulotte subsidiary. She will also serve as a key member of the senior management team responsible for formulating and executing Haulotte's ongoing North American growth strategy.
