EnPro Industries (NYSE: NPO) announced today that J. Milton Childress will assume the responsibilities of senior vice president and chief financial officer on March 31, 2015, replacing Alexander W. Pease, who has announced his resignation as senior vice president and chief financial officer effective as of that date in order to accept a new career opportunity which he expects to finalize in the coming weeks. Pease has agreed to remain with EnPro in an advisory capacity through May 31, 2015 to ensure an orderly transition.

Childress is currently EnPro’s vice president, strategic planning and business development, a position he has held since February 2006. He joined EnPro in December 2005 after serving four years as managing director of McGuireWoods Capital Group, of which he was a co-founder. Previously, he was senior vice president, planning and development, at United Dominion Industries, Inc., a diversified industrial company. Before joining United Dominion in 1992, he held a number of positions with Ernst & Young LLP’s corporate finance consulting group. Childress has a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee and an MBA from the Darden School of Business, at the University of Virginia.

“We are very pleased that Milt has accepted this new role within our company,” said Steve Macadam, president and chief executive officer. “He knows EnPro well, having worked with us since we became an independent public company in 2002, first as an advisor and then as an employee. Under his direction, we have developed growth strategies, and completed a number of acquisitions responsive to those strategies, that expand the products we offer and the markets we serve. As a member of our senior team, he has also been actively involved in helping set our corporate finance strategy. I am confident Milt’s skill, experience and knowledge of EnPro will serve him well in his expanded responsibilities.”

Pease joined EnPro as senior vice president and chief financial officer in 2011 from McKinsey & Co. “As a key member of our senior executive team, Alex has made many important contributions to EnPro in the past four years,” Macadam said. “Under his leadership, we made significant advances in our organic and inorganic growth strategies, recapitalized the company with our first ever public debt offering, initiated a dividend policy and streamlined our corporate organization to support our next wave of growth. We are grateful for his contributions to EnPro. We wish him great success and we look forward to his continued friendship as he begins a new phase of his career.”
