Samuel, Son & Co. has appointed Maria Perrella as its new CFO.

Perrella previously served as CFO at Canadian space technology company MDA, global automation company ATS, and L3Harris in Canada.

“We are pleased to welcome a CFO of Maria’s caliber and experience to Samuel. Maria has proven financial leadership capabilities at top-performing industrial and technology companies. I look forward to working with her as we accelerate Samuel’s growth and overall performance,” said Colin Osborne, Samuel’s president and CEO, in a statement.

Perrella succeeds Samuel’s previous CFO, John Amodeo, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

“I would like to thank John for his longstanding service to Samuel. During his tenure, we grew and diversified the business, expanded throughout North America, and entered several new markets. This progress was possible because of the strong financial systems and teams John developed over this time. On behalf of our owners, board, and team, I would like to wish John well in retirement,” Osborne stated.

Samuel is a family-owned, Oakville, Ontario-based metal processor and distributor with more than 80 locations throughout North America.
