Leviat Welcomes Two Key Leaders to Executive Team

Leviat, the global leader in construction connection solutions, is pleased to announce that Thierry Amat and Wayne Anderson have joined the company's executive leadership team as Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer and Chief Information Officer, respectively.

Both executives commenced their roles at the beginning of July and are currently undertaking an extensive tour of Leviat's manufacturing sites worldwide, accompanied by President and Chief Executive Officer, Jesse Hawthorne. The site visits provide an invaluable opportunity for the new leaders to engage directly with teams, understand operational capabilities, and immerse themselves in Leviat's culture and business model.

These strategic appointments reflect Leviat's commitment to strengthening the financial and technology foundations required to accelerate performance and deliver on strategic priorities as an independent global business.

Thierry brings more than 20 years of CFO experience in global and standalone organisations. He has a proven track record in building and scaling finance capabilities, including treasury, capital structure management, lender engagement, and financial governance.

Most recently, Thierry served as CFO of Eco Material Technologies, where he played a key role in strengthening financial leadership, capital structure, and operational performance in a standalone, growth-oriented environment. 

Wayne brings extensive global experience leading technology and digital transformation across industrial and manufacturing organisations. His appointment underscores Leviat's focus on accelerating technology capabilities to support strategic priorities including revenue growth, operational efficiency, and safety.

Most recently CIO of Foamex International (FXI), a standalone manufacturer with over $1 billion in revenue, Wayne delivered large-scale ERP transformations, modernised technology environments, and strengthened cybersecurity capabilities.

"We're delighted to have Thierry and Wayne on board," said Jesse Hawthorne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Leviat. "Their first few weeks have been focused on getting to know our people and operations across our global manufacturing network. The addition of these two leaders reflects our commitment to building the capabilities required to succeed as a standalone global manufacturing business. Together, they will play a critical role in strengthening our financial and technology foundations, enabling us to accelerate performance and deliver on our priorities."

Following its acquisition by One Equity Partners (OEP), Leviat is operating as an independent global business with greater focus, agility, and accountability. These appointments are part of the company's strategic investment in building world-class capabilities to support long-term growth and value creation.
