“Jake brings a wealth of financial, strategic and M&A experience, and I am confident he will provide the leadership necessary to continue to help us drive and execute on our strategic growth plan and create and promote shareholder value,” said Chief Executive Officer Andy Nemeth. “Jake joins the Company from Wells Fargo Securities, where his deep expertise in investment banking, capital markets, and leveraged finance brings synergy, talent, and additional depth to our team.”
