Briggs & Stratton announced that Kristina Cerniglia has joined the Company as Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer. Cerniglia joins Briggs & Stratton after serving eight years at Hillenbrand Inc. as Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer. Prior to Hillenbrand Inc., she spent 23 years in the financial organizations at Stanley Black & Decker and United Technologies Corporation.

Cerniglia currently serves on the Board of Directors for Littelfuse Inc. and Margaret Mary Health. Cerniglia is succeeding Mark Schwertfeger who served as the SVP & CFO. The Company is thankful for his contributions and leadership throughout the years.

In September 2020, KPS Capital Partners, through a newly formed affiliate, acquired substantially all of the assets of Briggs & Stratton and appointed Steve Andrews as President & CEO. Since that time, the Company has welcomed David Dooley, Vice President and General Manager of the Company's Allmand business; Chris Mapes, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain, Brian Hazelton, Senior Vice President & President of the Company's Power business, and Michelle Kumbier, Senior Vice President & President of the Company's Turf & Consumer Products business as new direct reports of Andrews. The addition of Cerniglia further strengthens the Briggs & Stratton executive leadership team and reinforces a commitment to redefining Briggs & Stratton as a new company with a strong future.
