The board of directors for Amrize, Chicago, has appointed Samuel J. Poletti as CFO effective Aug. 24. Poletti succeeds Baris Oran, who is stepping down for personal reasons.
Poletti has been a member of Amrize’s Executive Committee as its chief strategy and M&A officer since the company’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2025. Poletti led the successful spin-off of Amrize, overseeing the financial and nonfinancial aspects of establishing the independent company. He spent more than 20 years at Holcim in mergers and acquisitions, finance and strategy, overseeing the transformational acquisitions in Building Envelope, which doubled the size of the North American business.
Jan Jenisch, Amrize chairman and CEO, said: “I am thrilled to welcome Sam as our Chief Financial Officer. He is an exceptional leader with a high impact track record and deep experience in our business, from his instrumental role in leading our spin-off to driving value accretive transactions to position Amrize for growth in the most attractive markets. Sam is a highly respected member of our executive team, and I look forward to working with him in his new role as we continue to drive profitable growth and long-term shareholder value creation.”
