Shimmick Announces New Interim CFO to Further Deliver on its Transformation into a Water Infrastructure Company

IRVINE, Calif., June 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shimmick Corporation (“Shimmick” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SHIM), a leading water infrastructure company, today announced organizational changes in its finance leadership to further deliver on its transformation into a more selective and focused water infrastructure company.

Amanda Mobley, a long time Shimmick finance professional, will become interim Chief Financial Officer, replacing Devin Nordhagen, who is stepping down from his position as CFO to pursue other business interests. Mr. Nordhagen will remain with the Company for a period of time to assist with an orderly transition.

“Devin has played a critical role over the last few years, helping to establish Shimmick as an independent company, build our financial team and lead our 2023 IPO,” said Steve Richards, Chief Executive Officer of Shimmick. “We are grateful for all of Devin’s efforts and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

Steve continued, “I am also excited to have Amanda taking on her new responsibilities. Amanda has a long history of working with the Shimmick managers in the field to improve results where she has earned their strong respect. Her focus on execution across the organization will be instrumental in driving our next phase of growth.”

Ms. Mobley has been with Shimmick and its predecessors since 2011 in a variety of financial management roles including being responsible for project accounting and financial reporting. Prior to her role with Shimmick, Ms. Mobley served as an Audit Manager for KPMG with a focus on public financial companies. Ms. Mobley holds a B.S. in Business Administration from Colorado State University and is a Certified Public Accountant.

“I’m excited to leverage my years of experience with Shimmick and take on these new responsibilities,” said Ms. Mobley. “We have a strong finance team in place, and we are well positioned to continue to deliver on the transformation of Shimmick in the water infrastructure space.”
