Creative Sign Designs, a provider of branding, wayfinding, and architectural signage solutions, recently appointed a new chief financial officer, Josh Baldwin.
Baldwin brings with him 21 years of experience and an executive PhD in business administration along with an integrous attitude poised to maintain the company’s strong financial operations.
Paul Wilbur, the prior CFO will be relocating for personal reasons, but will remain with Creative in a newly created chief administrative officer role.
“Josh joins us with a wealth of knowledge in his field, and I know he will be a true asset to our company,” said Jamie Harden, president and CEO of Creative Sign Designs. “Our last CFO was with the company for nearly two decades, and we expect Josh will create another long-time employee in this position.”
Baldwin comes to Creative Sign Designs from Ball Corporation, where he rose in the ranks from the plant accountant to regional controller until he transitioned to SteriPack Medical Contract Manufacturing as the U.S. director of finance. He has also been greatly involved with Trax Credit Union for more than 10 years and currently serves as the vice chairman.
At Creative Sign Designs, Baldwin will handle the strategic financial management of the company through managing the following: financial reporting analysis, treasury management, mergers and acquisitions activity, banking and investor relations, and audit/tax.
The last time a CFO role was open at Creative Sign Designs was 18 years ago, before Paul Wilbur sat in the position. As CAO Paul will continue to play an integral role on the executive leadership team, helping steer the strategic vision of company operations.
“The CFO role here has always been critical,” said Harden. “We truly rely on this individual to advocate for the financial well-being of our company while keeping us in line with budgets and capital planning, supporting our sales and operations teammates while ensuring the overall fiscal health of Creative Sign Designs. We know Josh will provide a solid and dependable discernment of the financial operations of our company.”
Baldwin joins the executive team at Creative Sign Designs and will work alongside the support of Heritage Growth Partners, an Atlanta-based family office that partnered with Creative Sign Designs in 2021.
