Personnel

Rubicon Technologies Inc., a New York-based waste and recycling management software provider, has announced that the company’s President Kevin Schubert has been appointed to the additional role of chief financial officer.

In addition to his current responsibilities as president, the company says Schubert will oversee Rubicon’s end-to-end financial operations and develop the financial infrastructure, teams and processes that will help the company meet its strategic goals.

Prior to serving as president, Schubert was Rubicon’s chief development officer.

Rubicon says Jevan Anderson stepped down from the chief financial officer role after joining company in late 2021.

“Today we are thrilled to announce Kevin Schubert as our president and chief financial officer,” Rubicon CEO Phil Rodoni says. “Kevin has already done exceptional work for us in developing our finance operations, helping to formulate our corporate strategy and driving our focus on profitability as a public company. We wish him every success in this role.

“Jevan was a key addition to our leadership team at Rubicon, and we thank him for his many valuable contributions to our company,” Rodoni adds.

Hino announces new leadership

Hino Motors Manufacturing U.S.A. Inc., Novi, Michigan, has announced a new management structure that places emphasis on North American expertise.

The company says the new team represents decades of experience in the United States and strong knowledge of manufacturing acquired from years of working with Hino—a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Group.

Incoming President and CEO Masamichi Mizukoshi, a veteran of the automotive industry, has held several domestic and international leadership positions at Toyota Motor Corp. Since 2019, he has served as chief operating officer of Hino.

Mizukoshi succeeds Takashi Ono, who served as president for Hino Motors Manufacturing U.S.A. since 2017 and now has been appointed chief business officer for Toyota.

Appointed chief operating officer and executive vice president for Toyota Business, Davey Jung has held several roles at Hino—most recently as executive vice president, senior vice president for purchasing, sales, corporate strategy and research and development.

New Hino Motors Manufacturing U.S.A. Executive Vice President Masaki Hanayama, who joined the company in 1994, will oversee truck business, production planning control and research and development.

Denali Water Solutions appoints new CEO

Denali Water Solutions, a leader in organic waste management that is headquartered in Russellville, Arkansas, has appointed Todd Mathes as CEO. Mathes succeeds Andy McNeill, who becomes chairman of the board.

McNeill says, “This is the right time for me to transition to the chairman role in which I will continue to focus on our long-term strategy and acquisition road map.”

He adds, “Having worked with Todd for many years throughout our careers and seeing him thrive as Denali’s president and [chief operations officer], I believe he is ideally suited to take on the role of CEO as we enter the next chapter for Denali.”

Mathes joined Denali in 2021 as president and chief operations officer (COO). He has more than 20 years of experience in organic waste management, processing, recycling and disposal.

San Francisco-based TPG invested in Denali in early 2020 through TPG Growth, the firm’s middle-market and growth equity platform. Since then, Denali has completed 13 acquisitions.

“It’s an honor to become CEO at such an exciting time in Denali’s growth journey, and I look forward to working closely with the leadership team, board and our partners at TPG to execute on the company’s mission,” Mathes says. “I also want to recognize Andy, who founded Denali and has led the company’s evolution to become a national player.”

TPG partner Ransom Langford says, “It has been a pleasure to partner with Andy, Todd and the Denali team, and together we have been laying the groundwork for this next phase of growth at the company for a number of years. We’re pleased to continue working with Andy in his role as chairman.”
