Diebold names new CFO

Diebold Inc. has announced the decision to elevate interim principal financial officer Christopher A. Chapman to the position of CFO.

June 18, 2014

Christopher A. Chapman has been named Diebold Inc. SVP and CFO, effective immediately. He is responsible for the company's global financial systems and related processes. 

During his 20 years at Diebold, Chapman has served in various executive positions within the company's finance organization, most recently as VP of global finance. He has served as interim principal financial officer since November 2013.

Former CFO Brad Richardson resigned from the company late last year. Diebold president and CEO Andy W. Mattes announced the resignation in the company's Q3 earnings call, saying that it was a personal decision by Richardson, and was unrelated to the company's strategic direction or financials.

In a statement, Mattes commented on the permanent appoint of Chapman to the CFO position:

Over the past several months, as our global search for a new CFO progressed, it became obvious to me that Chris is the best person for the job. He has a strong and unique skill set, an in-depth knowledge of Diebold, makes data-driven decisions, has a global perspective and unwavering ethics. Chris has demonstrated strong leadership skills over the past several months while serving in the interim CFO role. While we have a lot of work ahead of us, I am confident in his ability to continue to help lead Diebold toward a successful and sustainable transformation.
