30 April 2021 - 11:24PM
Today, Scott M. Asbjornson, Vice President, Finance and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), notified AAON, Inc. (the "Company") of his
decision to retire from the Company to pursue other interests,
effective immediately. Concurrently, the Company’s Board of
Directors has appointed Rebecca A. Thompson as Vice President,
Finance and Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.
Scott has served as Vice President, Finance and
CFO since August 2012. Prior to that, he served as President
(2010-2012) and Vice President (2007-2010) of AAON Coil Products,
Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and from 1988 to 2007,
held various accounting and finance positions at the Company.
Gary D. Fields, CEO and President, said, “I want
to thank Scott for his numerous contributions to AAON during his
lengthy career with our Company. Scott served as CFO during a
period of transformative growth for the Company and did so while
always focusing on creating value for our stockholders. Please join
me in congratulating Scott on his well-earned retirement. We wish
him all the best as he enters the next phase of his life.”
Mr. Fields continued, “The promotion of Rebecca
to the CFO position is an ideal step in our ongoing succession
planning process. Scott identified Rebecca’s talents over 10 years
ago and led the Company’s recruitment—and ultimate successful
hiring—of her in 2012, and in recent years has actively worked to
prepare Rebecca for this new role at the Company.”
Rebecca A. Thompson, 42, joined the Company in
2012 as Chief Accounting Officer and assumed the additional role of
Treasurer in 2017. Prior to joining the Company, she served as a
Senior Manager at Grant Thornton, LLP, where she had 11 years of
experience in the assurance division. Ms. Thompson is a licensed
certified public accountant and graduated from the University of
Tulsa with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Master of
Information Systems and Accounting.
Mr. Fields concluded, “In Rebecca’s 10 years
with the Company, she has consistently demonstrated her immense
capabilities. She has been an integral part of the development and
successful execution of our business plan and I very much look
forward to continuing working with her as she steps into this new
role.”
