Three leaders departing Husky Technologies in wake of acquisition

Changes are coming to Husky Technologies’ leadership team as CEO Bradley Selleck and CFO John Linker are departing in April and March, respectively, citing personal reasons. Tracy Cordes has been appointed president, service, replacing Tony Black, who is retiring. 

The moves follow Husky’s acquisition by GPGI, formerly known as CompoSecure. The deal was announced in November and completed in January. 

Searches for the CEO and CFO positions are under way, and Resolute Holdings, which manages GPGI, promised no disruptions to strategic priorities, day‑to‑day operations or customer commitments in a press release.

“Husky has a leading position in a good industry and the recent combination with GPGI represents a tremendous opportunity for the business, our employees, and our customers. With the permanent capital of GPGI and the deep operating expertise of the Resolute Holdings team, I believe Husky is well positioned for its next phase of profitable growth,” said Selleck, who joined the company in 2022 and took over from longtime CEO John Galt in 2024. “We are immensely proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to seeing the team continue to thrive as a part of GPGI.” 

David Cote, GPGI’s executive chairman, said, “During this period of transition, we remain focused on helping Husky implement the Resolute Operating System throughout the organization, strategically making investments to support growth, and fostering the cultural change consistent with high performing organizations.” 

Cordes assumed the role of president, service, in February. She brings leadership experience in service, operations, business transformation and profitability across large, complex organizations. 

Most recently, she served as executive director of global business transformation, commercial HVAC at Carrier Global Corp. She also held senior leadership roles at Chubb Fire & Security. 

Black joined Husky in January 2020 and led significant improvements in customer satisfaction, employee engagement, service performance and operational effectiveness, driving five consecutive years of growth. 

Founded in 1953 by plastics industry pioneer Robert Schad, Husky manufactures injection molding machines, hot runners and molds.
