ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmes today announced that Jonathan DeCarlo has been promoted to chief financial officer. DeCarlo, who has served as vice president and controller, is replacing Brian Hochheimer, who is retiring after 15 years at Emmes.

His technical skills, high levels of integrity and honesty, and vision, have earned the trust and respect from all those with whom he works. We are thrilled to have him as our new chief financial officer. I am extremely confident Emmes will be in excellent hands under Jon's leadership."

She added, "I want to thank Brian Hochheimer for his outstanding service to me and the company.
