Needles, the former CFO of Warbird Marine Holdings, LLC, will oversee the company’s financial operations, which include finance, accounting, treasury, SEC reporting, and financial planning and analysis, reporting to Ron Fleming, interim CEO of Lazydays Holdings, Inc.
Needles succeeds Interim CFO Jeff Huddleston. Huddleston’s resignation is effective January 6, 2025 but he will reportedly continue for a limited time in a consulting capacity to further assist in the CFO transition.
“Lazydays has recently completed a series of financing transactions and has announced further transformational actions to position the company for future success. I couldn’t be more excited to join the Lazydays team at this time,” said Needles.
“I am thrilled to welcome Jeff to Lazydays at this very important time,” said Fleming. “Jeff’s experience in complementary markets and business models, including multi-location retail marine and powersports will be a tremendous benefit to Lazydays.” Fleming added, “I want to thank Jeff Huddleston for his contributions as interim CFO.”
Needles has over 20 years of financial management experience with an extensive concentration in financial planning and analysis, cost analysis, and operational efficiency. In addition to his tenure as CFO of Warbird Marine Holdings, he held similar positions with United Enertech Holdings, LLC, Schnellecke Logistics USA and financial leadership positions with Mastercraft Boat Company and Harley Davidson Motor Company.
The new CFO is a Certified Public Accountant, holds an MBA from Washington University and a BS in Business Administration from Saint Louis University, John Cook School of Business.
