Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has appointed Mr. William ‘Sandy’ Harrison, 57, as its new chief financial officer (“CFO”), effective July 14, 2023.
Mr. Harrison has more than 27 years of experience as a senior finance executive primarily in semiconductor and communications-related technology companies. His roles have included Senior Research Analyst, Director of Research, and a partner at two Investment banking firms where he served as a principal and participated in several operating committee roles. He has also served as Vice-President of Investor Relations as well as headed the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) and Marketing communications teams at a multi-billion-dollar market-cap technology company.
Mr. Harrison earned a B.A. degree from Washington and Lee University and a MBA in Finance from Loyola University Maryland. He is a previous holder of the Series 7, 24, 63, 86 and 87 licenses.
There are no reportable family relationships or related person transactions involving the Company and Mr. Harrison. Mr. Harrison is not a party to any transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Since August 9, 2022, as reported at the time, Mr. Ariel Sivikofsky provided CFO services to the Company and no longer provides CFO services following the appointment of Mr. Harrison as CFO. In addition, the Company announces the departure of Mr. Liam Wilson as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer effective July 14, 2023 given personal reasons. The Company does not expect to seek a replacement for the COO position and the responsibilities will be absorbed by the CEO and President and other members of the leadership team. The Company expects this change in management responsibilities amongst the executive team will be synergistic for the business and operations. The Company thanks Mr. Wilson for his contributions to the Company and wishes him well. Mr. Wilson’s resignation is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or management and is not a reflection on the Company’s results of operations.
