“Stephanie has been a leader with every organization she’s joined and we expect her considerable financial skills to be vital in the next stage of Cap-it’s growth,” said Andrew Funk, president of Cap-it. “Now is the right time for Cap-it to add a VP of finance with the qualifications of Stephanie to our executive ranks, positioning us to successfully implement aggressive store improvements and strategic expansion plans.”
In addition, Darren Pritchard has been promoted to vice president of procurement.
