3M, St. Paul, Minn., appointed Nicholas C. Gangestad to senior vice president and chief financial officer this week. Effective immediately, he replaces David W. Meline, who is departing for another large, publicly traded company.
Gangestad has worked 27 years at 3M in financial leadership positions in the United States, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Canada, most recently as corporate controller and chief accounting officer, working closely with Inge G. Thulin, 3M chairman, president and CEO, to drive strategies, improve business and optimize capital structure.
“Nick is an outstanding and respected financial leader amongst a very strong 3M finance team,” said Thulin. “He has a proven track record of success and is ideally suited for the 3M chief financial officer role.”
