Just saw that Brad Cerepak stepped down as Dover's CFO back in January. Kind of a big deal for a company that size - they had Christopher Woenker take over the role. The interesting part is that Woenker was already running the CFO operations for a couple of their segments, so it wasn't totally out of left field. He'd been with Dover since 2013, working his way up through financial planning and analysis before moving into the business unit CFO track. Brad Cerepak's retirement was apparently planned pretty carefully - they had Woenker shadowing and learning the full scope while Cerepak finished out the fiscal year closing. That's actually a solid transition approach. Woenker's got deep roots in their operating model at this point, having managed finances across multiple segments. Curious how these kinds of handoffs usually play out in large industrials like Dover.
