As CFO, Hoffmaster joins the executive leadership team at Schwazze where he will be responsible for the company’s finance functions including accounting, audit, risk, tax, treasury, financial planing and analysis, investor relations, and capital markets. In addition, he will oversee the company’s data analytics and information technology functions.

Hoffmaster brings a wealth of financial and operational experience that will enable Schwazze’s growth strategy, optimize its operating costs, and foster a performance-driven organization,” stated Justin Dye, chairman and CEO of Schwazze. “We thank Nancy Huber, outgoing CFO, for her invaluable contributions since 2019 and wish her well in her retirement.”
Hoffmaster, stated, “I am excited to join such a deeply experienced, operationally focused team at Schwazze and look forward to the growth and success ahead.
