United Stationers names new CFO
United Stationers Inc. elected Fareed A. Khan as senior vice president and chief financial officer effective July 18, 2011.
He will report directly to Cody Phipps, president and chief executive officer. He succeeds Victoria Reich, who announced her planned departure from the company in November 2010 and has remained in her role to support a smooth transition.
Khan spent 12 years with USG Corporation where he most recently served as executive vice president, finance and strategy, and previously served as a consultant with McKinsey & Company, where he served global clients on a variety of projects including acquisition analysis, supply chain optimization, and organization redesign.
"We are extremely pleased to have an executive with Fareed's extensive background joining our senior management team," said Phipps. "We are confident that Fareed will provide strong leadership to our finance organization and will continue to build on the solid financial disciplines that are already in place. Fareed will also bring a wealth of business experience to the leadership team in driving our strategic growth agenda."
Khan received his bachelor of science degree in engineering from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario and earned a MBA from the University of Chicago.
