Olenox Industries (NASDAQ: OLOX) announced the appointment of Kimberly Hawley as interim chief financial officer, effective July 24, 2026, following the previously disclosed departure of former CFO Tricia Kaelin. Hawley brings more than 30 years of financial leadership experience across the energy, oil and gas, logistics, manufacturing and technology sectors. She will continue serving as executive vice president, CFO and treasurer of Vivakor Inc. while assuming the interim role at Olenox.
According to the company, Hawley has extensive experience in SEC reporting, capital markets transactions, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and strategic financings, including securing more than $120 million for infrastructure projects. Olenox said her appointment is expected to support the company's ongoing growth strategy, acquisition integration efforts and financial reporting as it continues expanding its vertically integrated energy platform.
The appointment comes at a critical time for Olenox, which operates across multiple business lines including oil and gas, energy services, and energy technologies. The company is focused on acquiring, optimizing, and scaling energy-related infrastructure and operating assets across key U.S. markets. With a seasoned financial leader like Hawley at the helm during this transitional period, the company aims to maintain momentum in its expansion efforts.
Hawley's background in capital markets and strategic financings, particularly her track record of securing substantial funding for infrastructure projects, could be instrumental as Olenox pursues further acquisitions and integration. Her familiarity with SEC reporting and corporate governance also positions her to ensure compliance and transparency during a period of growth.
For investors, the appointment signals continuity in financial leadership and a commitment to executing the company's strategic plan. The move may reassure stakeholders that Olenox remains focused on its growth trajectory despite the change in CFO. The full press release is available at https://ibn.fm/nBBo0.
