RelaDyne welcomes new Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Brian Robinson. Mr. Robinson will be responsible for helping to achieve financial targets, drive financial strategy and lead a world class finance organization.

We wish Paul all the best in his future ventures.”

After a nationwide search, Brian Robinson was selected to become the CFO of RelaDyne. Mr. Robinson joins RelaDyne from DuBois Chemicals, in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was the CFO. As CFO he was active in the acquisition growth strategy for Dubois highlighted by 8 add-on acquisitions in the last two years.

Mr. Robinson’s most recent experience with DuBois Chemicals will be instrumental in continuing the acquisition integration process at RelaDyne.

“We are fortunate to have Brian join us as our CFO, to help drive our financial targets for even more revenue and growth and support our financial strategy for proactive analysis of financial metrics,” said Larry Stoddard, CEO of RelaDyne. “He is a great addition to our Executive Leadership Team, and we look forward to the next phase of growth at RelaDyne.”

Other companies associated include Getronics and Deloitte and Touche, with international experience in London, England.

Mr. Robinson attended University of Dayton where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, graduating Magna Cum Laude in Finance. He resides in Cincinnati, Ohio with his wife and has three children.

“I am truly excited about the opportunity afforded me at RelaDyne to expand upon what has been developed here over our 10-year history and help us grow to even greater heights,” Mr. Robinson said. “Through financial strategy and business analytics, we will enhance our abilities as a world class finance organization.”
