A. O. Smith Names Carrie Anderson as CFO (AOS:NYSE)
Carrie L. Anderson will lead finance operations and strategic planning as Charles T. Lauber retires after more than 26 years with the company.
On Tuesday, A. O. Smith Corporation announced that Carrie L. Anderson will become the company's next executive vice president and chief financial officer effective July 1.
She succeeds Charles T. Lauber, who will retire after serving the company in different senior leadership capacities for over 26 years. Lauber's departure marks the end of a lengthy tenure at the water heating leader.
Before joining A. O. Smith, Anderson held executive finance roles at The Campbell, Integra LifeSciences, Dover Corporation, and Delphi Corporation. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University and an MBA from Ball State University.
Lauber will remain through Sept. 30 to ensure continuity. Steve Shafer, president and chief executive officer, said Anderson brings "depth of experience across complex industrial and manufacturing organizations."
As a key member of the executive leadership team, Anderson will oversee strategic financial planning, capital allocation, treasury, and investor relations. She also serves on the board of directors of Embecta Corp.
