Standex CFO handover completes a planned leadership transition
Standex’s finance leadership announcement follows Sarcevic’s promotion in May 2026 to executive vice president–corporate and group president–Electronics. He has continued to oversee finance while the company searched for his successor.
Once Stoddard joins, Sarcevic will focus fully on the Electronics business and selected corporate projects. The appointment therefore separates responsibilities he has been carrying simultaneously, rather than announcing his departure from Standex.
Dunbar said Stoddard brings experience leading finance teams at global industrial manufacturers, operational and financial discipline, and a public-company perspective. He also thanked Sarcevic for leading the finance organization over the past seven years and supporting the transition.
