Weston Solutions’ CFO to depart at year’s end
WEST WHITELAND >> Vincent A. Laino will be stepping down from his position as Chief Financial Officer for Weston Solutions Inc.
Laino, who has served as CFO for the environmental and infrastructure support services firm based in Chester County since 2001, will retire effective Dec. 31, 2021. A new CFO has not yet been named.
Laino will continue serving as an outside director on the company’s board, and will assume the role of audit committee chairman in January 2022, upon the retirement of George MacKenzie Jr.
“My career at Weston has been extremely rewarding. I had the opportunity to work with so many great people and for a company that makes a strong contribution to the communities in which we live,” Laino said in a statement.
Laino’s retirement coincides with the implementation of a new executive team at Weston announced in June, including the appointment of Lawrence J. Bove as CEO effective Jan. 1, 2022.
“Vince has been a great mentor to me throughout my Weston career. With his counsel and assistance, a new CFO will be in place before the end of the year to serve in the tradition that Vince has established,” Bove said in a statement.
Laino began his career at Weston in 1988. In 1992 he was named CIO and in 2001 he was appointed CFO for Weston. During his tenure at the company, Laino was instrumental in managing the transition of the company from a public to private capital structure, as well as with moving the company to 100% employee ownership in 2003. More recently, he successfully optimized the company’s ownership and capital structure, according to a press release announcing his retirement.
