In July 2009, Taylor Roofing welcomed Rick Klene as the new executive vice president. His role includes acting as chief financial officer and working in conjunction with Taylor Roofing President Catherine Taylor-Yank as chief operating officer. Taylor Roofing is a woman-owned business headquartered in Belleville, Ill., servicing the St. Louis metro region and southwestern Illinois.
“Rick brings a strong background in financial and project management, which are key to Taylor Roofing’s continued growth in the St. Louis metro region,” said Taylor-Yank. “His contributions are already producing results at the highest tiers of the company.”
Prior to Taylor Roofing, Klene was executive vice president at Meadowbrook Farms Cooperative where he started in 2002 as a chief financial officer working to coordinate federal and state grant submissions. During his tenure with Meadowbrook, Klene oversaw construction of the company’s $28 million, state-of-the art hog processing facility in Rantoul, Ill.
Klene was also the chief financial officer of U.S. Title Guaranty Company of St. Louis,
St. Charles, Washington and Lincoln counties in Missouri from 2000 through 2002. In this role, he supervised construction disbursement departments for all residential and commercial projects.
From 1990 to 1999, Rick served as controller for one of the nation’s largest independently-owned Pepsi bottling companies.
“Taylor Roofing is a growing company that allows me the opportunity to maximize my talents as both a financial officer and as a project manager,” said Klene. “Joining such a dedicated team that can profit from my skills is really exciting.”
There are many different areas where your roof can leak. I always felt it is important to isolate the problem area and get it fixed as soon as possible. Remember, it is important to have regular roof inspections done to ensure its integrity isn’t compromised.
