Lineage Names Robb LeMasters as Chief Financial Officer in Major Leadership Shift

Lineage, Inc., the leading temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, has announced a significant management transition effective November 2025. Robb LeMasters will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer, replacing Rob Crisci, who is transitioning into an advisory capacity to support a smooth handover of responsibilities. This appointment underscores Lineage’s commitment to maintaining strong financial leadership as the company navigates continued growth in the controlled-temperature logistics sector.

Robb LeMasters Brings Two Decades of Finance Leadership

Robb LeMasters brings over 20 years of distinguished experience in finance and executive management to Lineage. Most recently, he served as Chief Financial Officer at BWX Technologies, where he demonstrated expertise in managing complex financial operations for a publicly traded enterprise.

Prior to his tenure at BWX Technologies, LeMasters held a Managing Director position at Blue Harbour Group, a prominent investment firm specializing in public markets.

LeMasters began his professional journey at Morgan Stanley, where he worked as an analyst in the mergers and acquisitions division, followed by experience as a private equity analyst at the prestigious firm Forstmann Little & Co. This diverse background positions him well to guide Lineage’s financial strategy.

Rob Crisci’s Transition and New Investor Relations Leadership
