The Company also announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has appointed Scott Buchanan, the Company’s current Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and a member of the Board, to the role of Acting CFO and Principal Financial Officer effective as of the date of Mr. Leibowitz’s resignation, while maintaining his role as the Company's COO. The Company has launched a search for a permanent CFO.
Mr. Buchanan, age 33, has served as a director and COO of the Company since March 2022, and also served as the Company’s CFO from August 2020 to January 2023. From June 2019 to August 2020, Mr. Buchanan served as the Company’s Vice President of Finance/Human Resources. Before his tenure at the Company, Mr. Buchanan worked at Acuity Brands (NYSE: AYI) in different finance-related roles beginning in December 2015.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Buchanan and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed to serve as Acting CFO.
