KANSAS CITY, MO — CRB, a global provider of engineering, architecture, construction and consulting solutions to the life sciences and food and beverage industries, has promoted Paul Skinner to CFO. A deeply experienced business and financial leader and 23-year CRB veteran, Skinner will succeed longtime CFO Tim Henquinet, who plans to retire in 2022.

Since joining CRB in 1999, Skinner’s breadth of engineering and management skills and financial insights have contributed significantly to the company’s sustained growth. He previously worked as senior VP of business performance and enterprise risk.

During his time at CRB, Skinner has led the Northeast pharmaceutical team and the Northeast region business units, where he forged a close and productive collaboration with accounting.

Henquinet joined CRB in 2013 to head the business management unit and was named the company’s first CFO in 2017.

“Tim has been a tremendous asset for CRB as we continued our growth during his distinguished service to the company,” said Jeff Biskup, CRB’s CEO and board chairman. “Our leadership team depended on his impressive insights into risk, fiscal responsibility, and numerous other areas of finance and business performance. His leadership helped CRB achieve significant growth and will ensure a seamless transition as Paul assumes the CFO duties.”
