Standex names Samantha Stoddard as incoming CFO

Standex International Corporation has announced a finance leadership change, naming Samantha L. Stoddard as vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, effective 1 December 2026.

According to a company press release issued through PRNewswire, Stoddard will join Standex from JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., where she is described as serving as executive vice president and chief financial officer. Standex said she will report to David Dunbar, the company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Standex, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SXI, described itself in the release as a manufacturer of highly engineered components and systems. The announcement did not include details of Stoddard’s remuneration, the terms of her appointment, or any changes to financial guidance.

Stoddard is set to succeed Ademir Sarcevic, who Standex said was promoted in May 2026 to executive vice president, corporate, and group president, electronics. The company said Sarcevic has continued to serve as chief financial officer while the search for a successor was under way.

Standex said Sarcevic will remain chief financial officer until Stoddard joins on 1 December. After that, he is expected to focus on growth across the company’s electronics segment and oversee selected corporate projects and initiatives.

In the release, Standex attributed comments to Dunbar saying Stoddard brings experience leading finance organisations at global industrial manufacturers and public company perspective. The company also attributed comments to Stoddard about working with the leadership team to drive profitable growth and long term value.

The supplied release did not state whether the appointment requires further board or regulatory approvals, nor did it provide information on any Australian operations, customers or market impact.
