Veransa adds chief financial officer

Sarasota, Florida-based Veransa Group Inc, which collects and reprocesses wood scrap and green waste, has announced Jeremy Pfeifer as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

Pfeifer has previously served at four private equity or institutionally backed businesses, says Veransa, including Tampa, Florida-based Valet Living, a multifamily amenity services company, and ArrMaz, a Mulberry, Florida-based specialty chemicals producer.

Veransa says he has “extensive experience managing and executing on both organic and inorganic company growth strategies,” which suits him for Veransa’s anticipated expansion strategy. Pfeifer is a licensed certified public accountant (CPA) in the state of Florida with a degree in finance and accounting from University of South Florida, according to Veransa.

“We are excited to have Jeremy join our team,” says Marc Owensby, CEO of Veransa. “Jeremy’s leadership will accelerate Veransa’s buildout of an engaged and scalable finance team prepared to undertake due diligence and acquisition integration as we expand, while providing high-level strategic financial planning support to the company.”

Comments Pfeifer, “I am enthusiastic about joining Veransa. The company is uniquely positioned for significant growth in the coming years with a compelling vision, market strategy and seasoned leadership team.”

Veransa describes itself as transforming urban wood and yard waste into valuable beneficial re-use products on an industrial scale. The company says it vertically integrates green and wood waste collection and recycling centers with organic products manufacturing facilities to achieve highest-value use, waste-to-organic commodities production. Those products include organic compost and blended soils and wood scrap converted into feedstock for mulch and renewable energy.
