Stultz, president and chief executive officer. “Ron brings a wealth of finance skills and capabilities that can help take Nanometrics to the next level of our growth, including large company experience, international tax strategy and M&A. We had the opportunity to consider numerous highly-qualified candidates for the CFO position through an exhaustive search, which has culminated in the selection of a top-level finance professional with skills particularly well matched to our needs going forward.”
Mr. Kisling was CFO of PGP Corporation, which he joined in 2006 and which was acquired by Symantec in mid-2010. For the eight years prior, Mr. Kisling held CFO positions at Portal Software and SPL WorldGroup, both acquired by Oracle Corp., as well as Saba Software.
