(NYSE: SRI) today announced that Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Matt Horvath, has resigned, effective March 31, 2026, to pursue an opportunity in a different industry sector. Horvath will continue to serve in his role through that date to support a smooth and orderly transition.
Stoneridge's executive team and Board of Directors have initiated a comprehensive search to identify a Chief Financial Officer.
