There's a new exec overseeing finances for
NewPage Corporation, as the previous chief financial officer, David Prystash, moves on to other job opportunities this month.
Curtis Short will step into Prystash's shoes temporarily, while a new CFO can be found. His appointment to the senior VP and chief financial officer role will be effective May 11, on an interim basis.
Short currently is the controller and chief accounting officer for NewPage, and will resume that role until a permanent CFO is hired.
"Curt has a wealth of experience in driving results, enhancing the timeliness and accuracy of financial reporting and improving our finance function," says George Martin, NewPage's president and CEO. "I am confident in his ability to oversee the financial activities for the company as we search for a replacement CFO; and this change in leadership is not expected to have an impact on our business, customers, suppliers or other stakeholders."
Short first joined the company, which runs paper mills in Escanaba, among other locations, in April 2009. He is responsible for the corporation's accounting, reporting, financials, and filings, and works with other operational departments.
Headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, NewPage is the largest coated paper manufacturer in North America.
