STAG Industrial Announces CEO Succession Plan, Appoints CFO

Boston, MA-based STAG Industrial, Inc., has announced Benjamin Butcher, the company’s current chairman of the board and CEO, will become executive chairman of the board in July. In addition, William Crooker, the company’s current president, will be appointed CEO and join the board of directors.

Further, the company has appointed Matts Pinard to the role of EVP, CFO and treasurer. Crooker, the company’s CFO and treasurer until Pinard’s appointment, will continue in his role as president until assuming additional duties in July.

Butcher will work with Crooker on transitioning to CEO, and after becoming executive chairman, his responsibilities will include managing the business of the board, regularly consulting with the CEO on key corporate matters and liaising between the board and the management team.

Pinard has served as the company’s SVP – capital markets and investor relations since 2019.
