Since joining the company in July 2017, Eric has been instrumental in transforming our finance team. We appreciate Eric's leadership and commitment to Diversified's success and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to promote and place Brad into the role of CFO, who has a deep understanding of Diversified."
