Galleher LLC has appointed Mark Schauwecker as its director of financial planning and analysis.
Schauwecker brings over 20 years of financial expertise to Galleher. Throughout his career, he has held a variety of financial planning management roles at companies like AmerisourceBergen Corp., Mallinckrodt/Therakos and most recently, he served as director of financial planning and analysis for Foundation Building Materials, a national building materials distribution business with $3.8 billion in revenue.
Schauwecker’s appointment comes on the heels of Galleher’s significant growth of late. 2021 sales reached $335 million, representing more than a 50 percent growth rate over 2020 through organic sales and strategic acquisitions that expanded Galleher’s footprint to include 36 branches in seven states.
“Galleher’s significant growth in revenue and geographic expansion increased the complexity of our financial planning needs. Mark brings a level of expertise and experience that will help us not only manage our recent growth but set us up for continued growth and expansion going forward,” says Jim Whitney, Galleher’s chief financial officer. “We are excited to add someone with Mark’s financial management expertise and pedigree to our team,” he added.
“I was extremely impressed with Galleher’s rapid growth rate and the sophistication of the current Galleher finance team,” says Schauwecker. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to become part of this team and begin to contribute to their continued success and expansion.”
