Global Critical Logistics announced today the appointment of J.P. Hannan as its new Chief Financial Officer for its entire platform, including Rock-it Cargo, Dietl, Dynamic, CARS, Cosdel, Xtreme and Dell Will.
Hannan brings a track record in driving performance-focused financial foundations and growth at private equity-backed and public companies, particularly within the media and broadcasting sectors. J.P. joins GCL from Cox Media Group (CMG), an Apollo Global portfolio company, where he served as the Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, and led the financial carveout of CMG from Cox Enterprises.
“I’m delighted to have J.P. lead the GCL finance team,” said Daniel Rosenthal, President and Chief Executive Officer, GCL. “He is a true finance professional with strong industry background and tremendous experience rationalising financial and strategic objectives, and driving growth on a strengthened business foundation.”
Prior to his role at CMG, J.P. spent nine years as a financial leader at Cumulus Media, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMLS), contributing to the growth of its market cap by 1.2 billion dollars, and overseeing the integration of operations for more than 450 radio stations as its Chief Financial Officer.
His diverse experience also includes public company CFO roles with AutoWeb, SRAX, Inc., and Lincoln Financial Media.
J.P. began his career with privately held Lambert Television, where he held various positions, including Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
“My focus will be on strengthening the financial backbone of the organisation, enabling us to navigate challenges and capitalise on new opportunities in the dynamic markets we operate in,” said Hannan. “It is a privilege to be part of a company that values its employees, embraces diversity, and contributes positively to the community. I am excited to immerse myself in the culture and contribute to its continued success.”
In addition, Erin Cutri has been promoted to the role of Vice President of Finance – a position in which she will work alongside Hannan to drive the global integration of GCL’s financial platform.
