DENVER, N.C. — Leonard Automatics, a manufacturer of equipment for the laundry, garment and heat treatment industries, recently hired Greg Watson as its chief financial officer (CFO), the company reports.
Watson was the CFO of a manufacturing group in North Carolina for 11 years, managing the finances of four related companies with combined revenues of $40 million annually, Leonard notes.
“I look forward to using my years of experience as a financial strategist to help the continuing development of Leonard Automatics as the company transforms to prepare for the future,” Watson says.
His experience has gone from cost analysis on the manufacturing floor to managing treasury responsibilities and ultimately handling high-level acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures, the company indicates.
His strategies have greatly contributed to the profitability of the companies he’s worked for, Leonard points out, as well as streamlined the process of materials acquisition and staffing and production — ultimately benefiting the customer.
