David J. Antoniuk will step down as CFO of The Manitowoc Company, a manufacturer of cranes and lifting solutions, effective May 2. Brian P. Regan will succeed Antoniuk, who will transition into an advisory role to the CEO until Jan. 2, 2023, at which time he will retire from the company.

“On behalf of the Manitowoc team and our board of directors, I want to extend our deepest thanks to Dave,” Aaron H. Ravenscroft, president and CEO of The Manitowoc Company, said. “Over his six years of service, Dave has made many contributions to the success of Manitowoc. These efforts included the successful transition of the company to a profitable stand-alone crane company in 2016, the refinancing of our debt in 2019 and, most recently, the closing of two acquisitions, which was the first major step in transforming the company’s strategy. It has been a pleasure to work hand-in-hand with Dave over the years, and he will be greatly missed by the Manitowoc family. We wish him and his family the very best in his retirement.”

Regan, who currently serves as vice president, corporate controller and principal accounting officer for The Manitowoc Company, will become executive vice president and CFO on May 2.

“I’m excited to announce that Brian Regan will succeed Dave as the company’s CFO. Since joining the company in 2018, Brian has taken on growing responsibilities and played an integral role in our acquisitions. Brian is the ideal candidate and it’s a testament to our succession planning process,” Ravenscroft said.

Regan has served as vice president, corporate controller and principal accounting officer since November 2018 and has also been responsible for treasury over the last 12 months. Prior to The Manitowoc Company, Regan served in positions of increasing responsibility at SPX Corporation from 2006 to 2018, where he most recently served as vice president of finance and CFO of SPX Transformer Solutions. Prior to SPX Corporation, Regan served in positions of increasing responsibility at Ernst & Young and Ogilvy & Mather.
