January 2014 – Harvest CFO placed Michael Dignazio as the CFO for Crossett, Inc. (Crossett), a $30 million revenue transportation and logistics company with its corporate headquarters located in Warren, PA. Crossett services the transportation needs for the petroleum industry throughout the northeastern United States and eastern Canada – primarily in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, West Virginia and Ontario, Canada. CEO Alex Keddie approached Harvest CFO upon the recommendation of a Crossett consultant. Crossett needed a CFO with specific skill sets and attributes to work closely with the Company’s management team, board and operations to meet the Crossett unique requirements. Crossett, through the Harvest CFO due diligence process, created the Company’s “blueprint for success” for the Crossett CFO role. Using this “blueprint,” Harvest CFO proceeded through its candidate selection process, and after completion of due diligence, presented Michael Dignazio as the CFO candidate who was “spot on” and “spotless” for the Crossett CFO role.
Alex Keddie, CEO of Crossett, states, “Harvest CFO did an excellent job of ascertaining our needs for the CFO role, provided us with well-documented and reliable information regarding the CFO candidate and played a key role in our decision-making toward a successful placement. Harvest was very professional throughout our search process. I have worked with a number of search and placement firms during my career. Whereas many such firms are focused on filling a placement, it was clear to me Harvest was truly focused on determining Crossett’s specific needs and then providing a solution. Mike Dignazio has the ideal skill sets, personal attributes and is also a great cultural fit for our company and he has been a great addition to our management team. We are very pleased that we turned to Harvest CFO for the Crossett CFO role and we would not hesitate to recommend Harvest CFO to companies seeking skilled financial leadership.”
