Syntec Optics (NASDAQ: OPTX) Announces Dean Rudy as New Chief Financial Officer

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, June 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syntec Optics (“Syntec” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPTX) named Dean Rudy Chief Financial Officer, effective June 10, 2024. Mr. Rudy succeeds Mr. Robert (Casey) Nelson.

Dean Rudy brings over 30 years of experience with a unique combination of financial and operational leadership skills cultivated in small, medium, and fortune-100-sized businesses with the common thread of partnering with the management team and achieving profitable company growth. Dean started his career and worked for 17 years at Xerox Corporation, where he held many roles within their manufacturing organization. He also served as the worldwide controller for their Small Office / Home Office division and the general manager of their Personal Copier Unit. More recently, Dean has led the finance and accounting at medium-sized businesses across a broad array of industries, including printing and publishing, metal recycling, and retail. His last assignment was CFO for Auction Direct USA, a multi-state used car superstore company.

Mr. Rudy’s experience includes enabling the division at Xerox to grow from under $50M to $500M and improving the management of accounting, reporting, and strategy during rapid growth. At other manufacturing organizations after Xerox, he implemented enterprise systems, seamlessly combining all material flows, purchases, sales, and accounting while enabling reporting capabilities to drive pricing and competitive strategies. He drove streamlining systems for customer processes, KPIs, forecasting, IT infrastructure, and new product expansions.

Dean has an MBA in finance and accounting from the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis and a BA in economics from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN.

Syntec Optics Chief Executive Officer Al Kapoor stated: “I am excited to partner with Dean Rudy, who will provide exceptional financial and operating leadership to support Syntec’s continued growth."
