Rocky Brands is in search of a new Chief Financial Officer. The footwear manufacturer announced on Thursday that CFO Mike Staude is leaving the company, effective February 17, 2017, and it expects to make an internal hire by early March.

 
Staude, who was named Interim CFO on January 12, 2017, has worked at Rocky Brands since 2007 as Director of Accounting.

We have a deep bench of talented people within our organization and I’m confident that the skillsets possessed by certain individuals on our finance team make them ideal candidates for our next Chief Financial Officer. We look forward to making a final decision within the next few weeks.”
