NOVONIX reshuffles leadership as CFO steps down

Battery materials developer NOVONIX (ASX:NVX) announced a major executive shake-up following the upcoming departure of its CFO.

Robert Long will leave the company in July to pursue other opportunities, prompting a swift restructuring of the firm's upper leadership to ensure a seamless operational transition.

To bridge the gap, current Board Chair Ron Edmonds will step down from his governance role to assume the position of interim CFO while a comprehensive search for a permanent replacement is underway.

Edmonds brings extensive financial expertise to the interim executive role, having previously served in senior leadership capacities at Dow Chemical, including a tenure as chief accounting officer.

To facilitate this arrangement, Deputy Chair Admiral Robert Natter will step up to resume the role of chair.

The temporary alignment allows Edmonds to focus entirely on managing the company's financial strategies and ongoing commercial operations without governance conflicts.

The NOVONIX board expressed gratitude to Long for his valuable contributions and dedication throughout his tenure, wishing him success in his future endeavours.
