Ryan Companies Names New CAO/CFO

Ryan Companies US, Inc. has named Lisa Kro chief financial and administrative officer. She will fill the CAO/CFO position that was vacated last May when Brian Murray was named CEO of the Minneapolis-based company.

Kro will take over the leadership and oversite of all financial, administrative, and fiscal management of the company’s operations. In her new role, Kro will have oversight of Ryan’s financial disciplines, accounting, human resources, legal and risk management, and information systems.

“From the minute I met Lisa, I knew her strong sense of purpose and passion would be an ideal fit for Ryan,” said Murray. “Lisa is smart, warm, down-to-earth and eager to dive in.”

Kro most recently was the co-founder and managing partner of Mill City Capital in Minneapolis. As an executive leader of the private equity firm, she identified, executed and managed private equity investment opportunities in core Midwest markets and across many industries.
