Judith Gorog
Chief Financial Officer
After over 25 years in metals and mining, I’m excited to bring my expertise to the HVAC industry and contribute to XNRGY’s sustainable growth. My focus is on building strong teams, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation. With experience in managing large-scale projects and navigating complex financial landscapes, I’m committed to helping XNRGY achieve its vision while ensuring long-term success.
CFO with over 25 years of experience in metals and mining, recently joined the HVAC industry. Her goal is to build strong teams and bring people together while supporting the growth of XNRGY in a sustainable way. She is skilled in negotiation, budgeting, internal audit, ERP implementation, and business process reengineering, with strong knowledge of both US GAAP and IFRS. Judith has successfully managed multiple projects and transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and debt restructuring.
For the last 20 years, Judith has moved back and forth between North America and Europe, progressing through the typically male-dominated steel industry to become the only female member of her past management teams. However it is not simply her gender that sets her apart as chief financial officer. She is also an endurance athlete competing in Ironman events, all while maintaining her professional career and the personal responsibilities of raising two kids.
Born in Romania, Gorog earned a scholarship to study finance at the University of Liege in Belgium. Upon graduation, she began her career in public accounting as a senior auditor for PricewaterhouseCoopers. After working in the US and Europe for subsidiaries of ArcelorMittal, Judith returned to the U.S. in 2008 to work for Skyline Steel, a distributor and manufacturer of steel foundation solutions. Skyline was a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcelorMittal, subsequently sold to Nucor. Judith was instrumental in completing that transaction.
Judith joined ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada in 2018 as CFO and accomplished many process improvements. She joined Rio Tinto Iron and Titanium in 2022 in a CFO role as well.
Her expertise in managing large-scale projects within manufacturing companies, in environments similar to those of XNRGY, is a valuable asset. Recognized for her strategic thinking, innovation capabilities, and commitment to excellence, Judith aligns perfectly with our ambitious vision and will undoubtedly contribute significantly to the achievement of our business objectives
