Nordson has hired Eaton executive Daniel Hopgood to succeed Joseph Kelley as the precision technology company's top finance executive.

Nordson on Tuesday said Hopgood, who joins the Westlake, Ohio, company on May 20 as executive vice president and chief financial officer, has been with Eaton since 2012 and currently serves as controller and chief accounting officer.

Hopgood assumes the role of finance chief from Stephen Shamrock, who has held it on an interim basis since last November after Nordson's previous chief financial officer, Joseph Kelley, became segment leader for the company's industrial precision solutions segment.

The company said Shamrock will serve as chief accounting officer.

Nordson said Hopgood, 52 years old, will receive an annual base salary of $520,000, a sign-on bonus of $175,000 and an annual cash bonus with a target of 75% of his base pay.

Eaton said Adam Wadecki, currently senior vice president of internal audit, will succeed Hopgood as controller and principal accounting officer.
