Thomas P. Crimmins, chief financial officer of B&G Foods, Inc., has resigned, effective March 24. He is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities, B&G said.

Mr. Crimmins joined B&G in March 2015.

B&G Foods has initiated a search for a new c.f.o. Until one is appointed, Amy Chiovari, B&G’s corporate controller, will serve as interim c.f.o. upon Mr. Crimmins’ departure.

“On behalf of our entire team, I want to thank Tom for his contributions to B&G Foods’ success over the past two years and wish him continued success in his future endeavors,” said Robert C. Cantwell, president and chief executive officer of B&G Foods. “I am also pleased to report Amy Chiovari will serve as interim chief financial officer. Amy has been an invaluable member of the B&G Foods family since joining the company in 1996. Amy played a key role in our 2004 initial public offering and in numerous acquisitions and capital markets transactions over the past two decades. Amy has served in various capacities within our accounting and finance department and over the years has been responsible for many functions, including, corporate accounting, corporate finance, financial reporting, treasury, tax and internal control over financial reporting. Amy’s in-depth knowledge of our operations makes her well-suited for this leadership role and we are fortunate to have someone of Amy’s caliber serve as interim c.f.o.”
