Terry O’Brien to Retire; James Noonan Appointed CEO

TriMark USA LLC (“TriMark” or the “Company”), the largest North American integrated provider of design services, equipment, and supplies to the foodservice industry, today announced that Terry O’Brien has informed the Company’s Board of Directors of his decision to retire as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective July 1, 2026, in order to focus on his health and larger life goals. In the interim, O’Brien will serve as an advisor to the Chairman of the Board to ensure a smooth transition, following which he will continue as a member of the Board of Directors to support the Company’s current transformation and growth momentum. TriMark’s Board of Directors has appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) James Noonan to serve as CEO.

“On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Terry for his leadership, strategic guidance and contributions to TriMark,” said Jim Clough, TriMark Chairman of the Board. “During his tenure, Terry helped advance important priorities across our commercial teams, supply chain optimization, and technology enablement, strengthening the foundation for TriMark’s next phase of growth. We wish Terry all the best as he enjoys this next chapter.”

Clough continued, “As TriMark enters its next chapter, James will work closely with Terry, the Board and the leadership team to maintain continuity, support employees and customers, and accelerate execution against the Company’s priorities. Our stakeholders are in good hands.”

A known and trusted leader within the organization, Noonan brings extensive financial, operational and leadership experience to the role of CEO. During his tenure as CFO, he was deeply involved in advancing TriMark’s strategic priorities. Prior to joining TriMark, he served as CFO of Hollingsworth & Vose, a global leader in filtration and energy storage solutions. He also previously held senior leadership roles at Suffolk Construction, including Vice President, Operations and CFO.

“I look forward to working closely with the Board and leadership team as we continue advancing TriMark’s priorities and sharpening our focus on our core business where we have the clearest right to win,” said Noonan. “TriMark has strong momentum, a disciplined strategy and a deep commitment to serving our customers. We remain focused on building on our leadership position across foodservice equipment, supplies and services while continuing to deliver value for all our stakeholders.”

As Noonan assumes leadership as CEO, the Company has engaged a leading independent executive search firm to identify a CFO. In the interim, CFO responsibilities will continue to be supported by TriMark’s experienced finance team, ensuring continuity across the Company’s financial priorities.
