Finning International, the world’s largest Caterpillar dealer, named David Primrose, currently executive vice president and chief development officer, as executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective immediately. He succeeds Greg Palaschuk, who is leaving the company.
“Dave has held several senior management roles over his 36-year career at Finning and is well positioned to continue to drive the execution of our strategy and financial results. We will continue to simplify our organizational structure and Dave’s extensive and diverse experience throughout Finning will help drive these changes,” said Finning CEO and President Kevin Parkes.
Palaschuk will remain with Finning until July 31, in an advisory capacity, to ensure a smooth transition, including through the anticipated closing of the sale of 4Refuel and completion of the second quarter.
Primrose is a Chartered Professional Accountant. His previous executive roles in Finning include, among others, president of Finning Canada, managing director for Finning UK and Ireland, executive vice president of Mining for Finning Canada, and senior vice president, Human Resources, for Finning International.
