Nanophase Technologies
(NASDAQ:NANX) , a leader in nanomaterials technologies and provides nanoengineered
solutions for multiple industrial product applications, announced today that
the Company has hired Frank Cesario to serve as its Chief Financial Officer.
"We are very happy to have found a CFO of Frank's caliber to round out
our executive team," stated Jess Jankowski, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer.
Prior to joining Nanophase, Mr. Cesario served in a similar capacity with ISCO
International, Inc., a global supplier of telecommunications equipment, as well
as Turf Ventures LLC, a chemicals distributor. He began his career with KPMG
Peat Marwick and then served in progressively responsible finance positions
within Material Sciences Corporation and Outokumpu Copper, Inc, subsequent to
that. Mr. Cesario holds an MBA (Finance) from DePaul University and a BS (Accountancy)
from the University of Illinois, as well as a CPA license from the state of
Illinois.
Jankowski added, "Frank's addition allows me to focus my full attention
on the role of CEO instead of sharing time between the two jobs. With our executive
team now complete, I am even more optimistic about continuing to lead the company
in its new direction. I remain committed to building the enterprise value of
Nanophase by delivering on our promise to provide solutions to customers that
will help them achieve superior product performance."
