CRH, the parent company of Ash Grove Cement, has appointed Alan Connolly as interim chief financial officer, effective Jan. 1, 2025.
As announced in September, current CFO Jim Mintern will assume the role of chief executive officer, effective Jan. 1. CRH said a “robust and comprehensive” search for a permanent successor is ongoing.
“Alan brings extensive and relevant expertise to the interim chief financial officer role and is deeply familiar with CRH’s business and financials,” said Mintern. “As our director of strategic finance, Alan and I have worked closely together on key finance initiatives, and I look forward to continuing to partner with him to execute on our strategy and drive value for our shareholders.”
Connolly, a chartered accountant, has over three decades of finance experience working at CRH and has held several senior finance roles across the company’s European and Americas businesses. He most recently served as the director of strategic finance.
