WSC WillScot Holdings Corporation

WillScot Holdings Corp. (“WillScot” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WSC), a leader in innovative flexible space solutions, today announced executive leadership transitions to further align its management structure with its strategic priorities and future growth objectives. Tim Boswell, currently President and Chief Financial Officer, will transition into the newly created role of Chief Operating Officer. In this role, Tim will be responsible for overseeing the Company’s long-term strategic initiatives and advancing execution across WillScot’s portfolio. Concurrently, Senior Vice President of Finance, Matt Jacobsen, has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer. Both transitions will be effective on January 1st, 2025.

“Over the past twelve months, we have worked closely with our Board and external advisors to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of our strategy and leadership structure. Our goal has been to ensure we are well-positioned to scale and grow our business for the future, while continuing to deliver value for all stakeholders,” said Brad Soultz, Chief Executive Officer of WillScot. “To that end, we continue to add new functional talent in areas like Commercial Excellence and our Centralized Services to support our outstanding field leadership, ensure we have a best-in-class team capable of delivering upon our aspirations, and consistently deliver the industry’s best customer experience. As our portfolio continues to expand, it also became clear that we needed to formalize a Chief Operating Officer role to focus on execution across our multiple growth levers. Tim has been instrumental in architecting our long-term strategy, including a clearly defined value creation roadmap. Transitioning into the COO role will allow him to focus fully on executing against that roadmap and will position us well for further growth. The Board and I are confident that Tim’s leadership in this new capacity will drive meaningful impact across our platform.”

Added Mr. Soultz, “We are equally excited to promote Matt Jacobsen to Chief Financial Officer following a thorough search process conducted by a leading executive recruitment firm, which included both internal and external candidates. Matt’s deep financial expertise, demonstrated leadership, and extensive knowledge of our business make him uniquely qualified to oversee our financial function. Over his 14 years with WillScot, Matt has consistently excelled and earned the respect of our entire organization, including in his most recent role as Senior Vice President of Finance, where he has been instrumental in our reporting and data analytics, capital markets, M&A, business process improvement, and systems integration initiatives. Matt’s promotion also highlights the deep bench of talent that we have developed at WillScot. The entire Board and I are thrilled to have Matt step into this role.”
