Jacksonville-based Crowley announced March 24 that it named Jenny Fuss as its chief financial officer.
She will lead all of the shipping company’s financial strategies and operations to enhance economic performance and business growth, Crowley said in a news release.
“Jenny’s financial expertise and people-first approach to leadership will help drive high performance, profitability and enterprise transformation at Crowley,” Chairman and CEO Tom Crowley said in the release.
“Her experience leading financial innovation in multiple organizations aligns well with our company’s long-term vision for customer-focused growth and our strategies to maximize economic value as a business.”
Crowley said Fuss has more than 20 years of experience and has extensive expertise “using data-driven strategies that drive increased profitability and financial effectiveness.”
Fuss was CFO of Boart Longyear, a global mining services and equipment company. Crowley said she led cost-efficiency initiatives and successfully facilitated a financial restructuring during the company’s transition into a private company.
Before that, Fuss was a divisional CFO and later vice president of global financial services and systems at Eaton Corp. She also served 20 years in financial roles at Siemens.
“I have had three guiding principles throughout my career,” Fuss said in the release.
“The connectedness of business and finance, a problem-solving-first approach and the pursuit of new challenges. I’m excited to start this next chapter with Crowley and apply these principles to fiscal strategies that directly create long-term growth, value and success.”
Fuss holds an Advanced Certificate for Executives in Management, Innovation, and Technology (ACE) from MIT Sloan School of Management and a diploma in economics from FOM University of Applied Sciences for Economics and Management in Germany.
