Merlo America has appointed Holly McDade as finance manager, where she will oversee financial operations and support the development of accounting systems, reporting processes and compliance structures as the company continues expanding across the U.S.
McDade brings more than 15 years of experience in accounting and financial management within construction and industrial sectors. Her background includes financial operations, ERP system implementations, financial reporting and process improvement.
In her new role, McDade will focus on enhancing financial processes, supporting system improvements and helping align accounting practices across U.S. and international operations, including collaboration with Merlo's headquarters in Italy.
“I’ve spent most of my career in environments where accounting and operations are tightly connected, and where there’s always a new problem to solve,” McDade shares. “What drew me to Merlo America was the culture. From my first few weeks alone, I could tell this was a team that genuinely enjoys working together and supporting one another. There’s a real sense that everyone is pulling in the same direction which is exactly the type of team I want to be a part of.”
The appointment comes as Merlo America continues investing in its operational infrastructure and expanding across construction, agriculture and forestry markets in North America.
“Holly brings a strong combination of technical accounting expertise and real-world operational experience.
“She truly understands the importance balancing structure and collaboration, and she’s already made a positive impact in a very short period of time. We’re excited to have her on board as we continue strengthening our financial systems and supporting the company’s growth,” said Cole Renken, general manager of Merlo America.
