Effective immediately, Malibu Boats, Inc. hired David Black as interim chief financial officer. Malibu’s current CFO, Wayne Wilson, notified the company of his resignation to pursue a similar role at a private equity-backed company in Knoxville, TN. Wilson will work in an advisory role and assist with the transition through May 12. 

Malibu Boats’ Board of Directors has initiated a search for Wilson’s successor.

“For almost fourteen years, Wayne has been a critical partner in creating and implementing the company’s strategic vision and positioning Malibu Boats for future success. His intelligence and understanding of the business are extraordinary and while he will be missed, we know this is an opportunity for him to expand professionally,” commented Jack Springer, CEO and director of Malibu Boats, Inc. “Wayne leaves behind a strong finance organization that supports over 3,000 team members committed to our next generation of growth. On behalf of everyone at Malibu, I would like to deeply thank Wayne for his leadership, dedication, and many contributions to the company.”

Black has served as Malibu’s corporate controller since November 2020, previously working as the company’s director of internal audit since 2017. He has played an active role in the due diligence and integration activities related to Malibu’s acquisitions since 2017. He has over sixteen years of experience in accounting and finance, working for public and private companies.
