Bruce Potts Joins KMT Robotic Solutions as Chief Financial Officer
POSTED 06/28/2010
KMT Robotic Solutions President and CEO Kevin McManus announced today the appointment of Bruce Potts to the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). In his new role, Potts will oversee KMT Robotic Solutions’ global financial and accounting activities.
Potts, who’s been involved in industrial automation marketing since 1982, has held various positions including being one of the original employees of GMF Robotics (now FANUC Robotics), and served as their CFO. While at FANUC Bruce also interfaced with Robotic Production Technology, Inc. (now KMT Robotic Solutions) in his role as General Manager of FANUC’s Industrial Division, and was the President of FANUC Robotics’ European operations for 4 years. Bruce worked since then as CFO for an international paint finishing robotics firm and helped found another start-up in the residential composite building materials market as CFO and VP of Operations.
“We are extremely fortunate to have Bruce as part of our global team”, said McManus. “His broad financial and operational experience makes our team stronger and will allow me to focus additional time on ensuring that our global Sales, Operations and Aftermarket teams are meeting and exceeding our customer needs.”
“Having been involved at the start of the Robotics industry, it is exciting to come back to those roots, especially at a time when the industry is emerging from the downturn and poised for another wave of growth”, said Potts.
