GRAND FORKS, ND - Black Gold Farms’ C-suite recently welcomed a new leader to its team. Heath Webber, CPA, joins the potato provider as its newest Chief Financial Officer. He will succeed Bob Hoffert, who will be retiring from the company.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with Black Gold Farms,” said Webber. “I have lived in the greater Grand Forks area a long time and have always held the company in high regard. It’s a privilege to be part of the organization’s strategic direction moving forward.”

Webber has more than 30 years of finance experience and a combined 10 years in the CFO role. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Accountancy from the University of North Dakota and a Master's in Business Administration from the University of Mary.

As noted in the release, Webber has a history of executive experience with local potato processing plants, making him an excellent fit for Black Gold Farms. Webber most recently served as CFO at PS Industries Incorporated in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where he oversaw all financial aspects of the organization.

In Webber’s executive position, he will manage accounting, finance, budgeting, and reporting functions in addition to IT and HR and benefits oversight.

This change follows Bob Hoffert stepping down from his CFO position, as he will enjoy retirement after 30 years of service with Black Gold Farms.

“Heath brings a wealth of knowledge, and we’re so glad to have him on the team,” said Eric Halverson, Chief Executive Officer. “Stepping into a role such as this can bring certain pressures, and Heath has continued to impress us all.”

Congratulations to Heath Webber on his new position, and to Bob Hoffert as he begins his well-earned retirement!
