Brands’ U.S. Pizza Hut division.

“We are very pleased to welcome Jesse as our CFO,” said Tomlinson. “He brings extensive global finance and accounting experiences across multiple industries, and he has a proven track record of driving results.”

“I am excited to join Holley at this exciting time in the company’s growth and development,” said Weaver. “I have gotten to know the entire management team and board, and I am impressed with the team’s dedication to consumer engagement, new product innovation, and the commitment to become the most compelling platform in the performance automotive aftermarket space. I see a tremendous amount of opportunity for future value creation at Holley and I look forward to unlocking this potential for our shareholders.”
