CRH named Nancy Buese CFO, effective May 12.
Buese brings a wealth of experience and expertise in the financial leadership of publicly listed companies, CRH says. She previously served as executive vice president and CFO at Baker Hughes Co. and Newmont Corp. She has also served as executive vice president and CFO at MarkWest Energy Partners and MPLX, and was a partner at Ernst & Young.
Buese will oversee CRH’s global finance function and play a role in advancing the company’s strategy, operational discipline and long-term value creation.
“We are pleased to welcome Nancy to CRH,” says Jim Mintern, CRH’s CEO. “Her exceptional track record of financial leadership and operational insight makes her the ideal person for this role, and her experience will be invaluable as we undertake the next phase of our growth journey.
“I also want to take the opportunity to thank Alan Connolly, interim CFO, for his valuable contribution while in the role,” Mintern adds. “Alan will return to his previous role as director of strategic finance in May.”
Buese looks forward to her opportunity.
“I am excited to join CRH at such an important time in its history,” she says. “CRH’s industry leadership, entrepreneurial mindset and purpose-driven culture make it a company with enormous opportunity, and I look forward to working with Jim and the leadership team to build on that strong foundation.”
