Lineage appoints new CFO and VP of investor relations to strengthen financial leadership

Lineage recently appointed Robb LeMasters as CFO, effective November 10. The company, which operates as the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, will have LeMasters succeed Rob Crisci, who will remain in an advisory role during the transition.

LeMasters brings more than two decades of finance and executive leadership experience, including his role as CFO of BWX Technologies and senior positions at Blue Harbour Group, Theleme Partners, The Children’s Investment Fund, and Highbridge Capital Management. 

“Robb’s depth of experience in managing complex financial operations and creating long-term value for global investors makes him an ideal fit for Lineage,” Greg Lehmkuhl, president and CEO of Lineage, said. “His leadership will further strengthen our team and support our strategy to grow as the world’s most trusted, connected temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics partner.”

Lineage also appointed Ki Bin Kim as VP of investor relations. Kim will lead its global investor relations strategy and serve as the primary liaison with the investment community. Kim joins from Truist Securities, where he was managing director of U.S. REIT equity research, bringing over two decades of financial services and public real estate sector experience.

“We are thrilled to welcome Ki Bin to the Lineage team,” Lehmkuhl said. “His extensive knowledge of the REIT landscape and strong relationships across the investment community will be invaluable as we continue to grow our business and communicate our strategic vision to our stakeholders.”
