Portable Solutions Group (PSG) has announced the permanent appointment of Joe Dougherty as COO/CFO.

Dougherty joined the PSG team as a part-time consultant and acting CFO in January 2018, and in October 2020, added acting Chief Operations Officer to his responsibilities. Joe has worked alongside Robert Slagel, president and CEO, to guide PSG and its family of companies through the challenge and success of consolidation of two facilities into one permanent PSG-owned facility in Wurtland, Kentucky.

“It is extremely flattering to PSG that Joe, having been a contract CFO/COO with PSG for the past three and a half years, now wants to join the company in a fulltime, permanent position. No one in our organization knows the PSG operations and finance models as well as Joe, so his desire to join our team fulltime speaks volumes about our company’s current strength and future growth potential.” Rob Slagel, CEO of Portable Solutions Group.

Prior to Focus CFO, Joe’s roles included cost accounting manager and cash manager at Bridon America Corporation in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; CFO, corporate vice president and plant manager, treasurer and corporate controller at
