The Shyft Group announced the appointment of Scott Ocholik, vice president, chief accounting officer and corporate controller, as interim chief financial officer (CFO), effective Jan. 1.
“Scott has been a key member of our leadership team, and his financial expertise, operational knowledge, and steady leadership make him well-suited to step into this interim role,” said John Dunn, president and CEO. “As we enter an important time for Shyft, Scott will help ensure stability and continuity in our financial operations while we continue to execute on our strategic priorities.”
The appointment follows the previously announced resignation of CFO Jon Douyard. Shyft’s board of directors is conducting a comprehensive search for a permanent CFO, considering both internal and external candidates.
“I am excited to step into this role at a pivotal time for Shyft,” said Ocholik. “I look forward to working closely with the team as we advance our strategic objectives.”
Ocholik has served as VP, chief accounting officer and corporate controller since 2022, after joining Shyft in 2019 as vice president and corporate controller. Prior to Shyft, he was executive vice president and CFO at Gestamp North America. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in accounting and a Master of Business Administration from Michigan State University.
