Lineage Logistics of Novi, a temperature-controlled industrial real estate investment trusts and logistics solutions providers worldwide, appointed Rob Crisci as chief financial officer.
Crisci brings more than 25 years of financial leadership experience in the industrial and technology sectors. He will report directly to Greg Lehmkuhl, president and CEO of Lineage Logistics.
Crisci joins Lineage from Roper Technologies, a constituent of the S&P 500 and Fortune 500 that operates 27 independent businesses across multiple end markets, where he most recently served as the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. In that role, he oversaw the multi-billion-dollar business’s global financial operation and played a central role in its transformation from a cyclical industrial company to one focused primarily on software. He helped increase recurring revenue, operating margins, and organic growth.
As an experienced mergers and acquisition professional, he deployed more than $20 billion in capital and led key acquisitions for Roper as it underwent its portfolio transformation. Prior to serving as CFO, he spent four years as vice president of finance and investor relations, working on the company’s relationships with banks, institutional investors, governance advisor,s and other key financial stakeholders. During Crisci’s tenure, Roper’s market capitalization grew from $12 billion to more than $45 billion.
Prior to Roper, Crisci worked in investment banking at VRA Partners and Morgan Keegan, as a buy-side advisor at Devon Value Advisers and as a capital markets consultant at Deloitte & Touche.
Crisci’s experience leading teams and history of delivering strong financial performance has been recognized by Institutional Investor, who named him to its All-American Executive team in 2019 for the multi-industry CFO category.
“On behalf of Lineage’s management team and board of directors, we could not be more excited to have Rob join us as our CFO,” says Lehmkuhl. “Rob is a proven public company financial leader who brings extensive operational and strategic expertise and a deep knowledge of the industrial and technology sectors. He will be an invaluable addition to the Lineage leadership team as we continue into our next phase of growth and expansion.”
“I am thoroughly impressed with the incredible global growth Lineage has achieved over the past 10 years and look forward to leading its world-class finance team at such a pivotal point in the company’s history,” says Crisci. “I am excited for the opportunity to partner with Greg, the executive team, and the board to further advance Lineage’s position as the world’s leading and most innovative temperature-controlled logistics company.”
