Global building materials company CRH has appointed Aylwyn Bryan as its chief financial officer.
He succeeds Nancy Buese, who has stepped down by mutual agreement and will remain with CRH for a three-month period to support a smooth transition.
Bryan has over 25 years of financial leadership experience, including the past 14 years with CRH. Most recently he served as CFO of CRH’s Americas division and previously as head of group finance and group tax director. As CFO, Bryan will continue to play a critical role in advancing CRH’s strategy and operational discipline, as well as driving long-term quality growth and value creation for CRH’s shareholders.
“We are pleased to announce Aylwyn’s appointment as CFO,” said Jim Mintern, CEO of CRH. “He has a deep understanding of CRH’s business, has strong financial expertise and a proven track record of delivery for shareholders. This experience will be invaluable to CRH as we continue to execute and evolve our strategy and drive consistent long-term growth.
“I would like to thank Nancy for her contributions to CRH and I wish her success. I am pleased that Nancy will work closely with Aylwyn and the finance team to ensure strong leadership and continuity during the transition period.”
Bryan commented on his appointment: “I look forward to continuing to work with the leadership team to extend CRH’s legacy of strong financial discipline and enviable track record of maximizing value for our shareholders.”
CRH says that Buese’s departure is not related to any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to its accounting practices, financial statements, financial guidance, internal controls or operations.
