Global Power Equipment has appointed David Willis as its new senior vice president and CFO, effective January 28, 2008. He will replace Mike Hanson, who will be leaving the company to pursue other opportunities. Mr Hanson will remain with the company until the end of February 2008, allowing for an orderly transition of responsibilities.
Most recently, Mr Willis was with the restructuring practice of Alvarez and Marsal, a global professional services firm, where he served clients in advisory and interim management capacities overseeing the development and implementation of initiatives to improve operational and financial performance.
Prior to his restructuring practice, Mr Willis held positions with The Williams Companies and with Ernst & Young.
John Matheson, president and CEO of Global Power, said: With our executive group now complete, we look forward to achieving our goals coming out of our successful reorganization while continuing our focus on running the business and servicing our customers.
