Hayward Industries Inc., a manufacturer and marketer of residential and commercial pool equipment, announced on Monday it has named Eifion S. Jones to senior vice president and chief financial officer, effective immediately.
Jones is succeeding Anthony Colucci, who is leaving the Berkeley Heights-based company to pursue other opportunities. Jones has more than 30 years of experience in financial and management leadership roles. Before Hayward, he was the chief financial officer at Cornerstone Chemical Co. for nine years. Prior to that, he spent 21 years with Akzo Nobel in roles such as executive vice president and general manager.
“We are excited to welcome Eifion to the Hayward team and are confident he is the right person to help lead our company through a very exciting and critical period of growth for our company. We thank Tony Colucci for his leadership and many contributions to Hayward’s success over the last two years,” Kevin Holleran, CEO and president of Hayward Industries, said.
“Hayward is a global market leader with an exceptional brand and track record of innovation spanning many decades,” Jones said. “I am thrilled to join this talented team and view this as a unique opportunity to help accelerate growth during this critical time in Hayward’s history.”
