Holiday Oil Co. announced “two key executive appointments” that it says “signal a new era of growth and innovation for the company.”
James Peterson has been appointed as the new chief operating officer, while Kim Facer assumes the role of chief financial officer. Both individuals have risen through the ranks of the company, “showcasing exceptional dedication and expertise, and are well-prepared to guide Holiday Oil into the future,” the company said.
Peterson (pictured above left) joined Holiday Oil as controller from Daily’s Premium Meats in 2017. A year later, he was promoted to chief financial officer. He now will lead operations. Facer joined Holiday Oil as vice president of finance in February following stints with Target, Sears Holdings and, most recently, Vivint Smart Home, among other roles.
"We are thrilled to welcome James Peterson and Kim Facer to their new roles as chief operating officer and chief financial officer, respectively," said Mike Wagstaff, co-president of Holiday Oil. "Their passion for our brand, extensive experience and commitment to our values make them ideal leaders to steer us into the future."
