operationally-oriented professional who will provide valuable insight
and guidance throughout the company in support of our growth and
operational excellence objectives. In addition, I am confident that Sue

organization and lead the company’s overall financial strategy.”
Carter will report to Lamach as part of his executive leadership team
and relocate to Davidson, N.C.
