Gibraltar Industries announced a finance leadership change Nov. 5: Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Joseph A. Lovechio is set to leave Nov. 20, when Vice President and Treasurer Jeffrey J. Watorek is due to take over as interim CFO.

Lovechio notified Gibraltar on Nov. 2 that he planned to resign to pursue another opportunity. The board appointed Watorek on Nov. 3 to become interim CFO effective Nov. 20. Watorek will continue as treasurer while the company searches for a permanent CFO.

Vice President and Corporate Controller Lori Rizzo will become principal accounting officer Nov. 20 while keeping her current role. The leadership changes take effect that day.
