Summit Materials Says EVP And CFO Brian Harris Plans To Retire

(RTTNews) - Construction materials company Summit Materials, Inc. (SUM) announced Monday that Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Brian Harris plans to retire after a decade with the Company.

As part of a planned transition, Harris will continue in the CFO role until a successor is installed, after which time he will take on a non-executive role until his retirement date in the fourth quarter of 2023.
