“Joining the CoolSys team is a great honor for me,” said Dunlap. “I look forward to leading the company’s financial operations as it enters the next phase of transformative growth and expansion.”

Dunlap succeeds former CFO, Andy Mandell, who will be retiring at the end of September after serving the company for three and a half years.  

“I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to Andy for his years of service,” said Coffey. “He has played an instrumental role in the growth of CoolSys, our numerous acquisitions and our sale to Ares Management. We wish him all the best in his retirement.”
