Casey’s General Stores has added Maria Castañón Moats to its Board of Directors, the company announced on Wednesday. Her addition brings Casey’s board to 11 members.
She will take her spot on Casey’s board on July 1, after retiring from her current job as a partner and the leader of the Governance Insights Center at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Castañón Moats, a certified public accountant, has spent more than 30 years with PricewaterhouseCoopers, where she “regularly provided accounting, financial reporting, investigations and M&A services to both private and public clients,” according to the announcement. She also has leadership experience, having overseen the company’s national assurance practice from 2016 to 2019 and served as its chief diversity officer from 2011 to 2016.
“We are excited to welcome Maria to the Board in July as she will add deep financial, accounting and governance acumen to our current board capabilities,” said Darren Rebelez, Casey’s board chair, president and CEO. “Her leadership experience in these areas will benefit Casey’s, the Board and its shareholders immensely.”
Castañón Moats joins Casey’s in the midst of a three-year program during which the company expects to add more than 350 sites through a mix of new builds and M&A through 2026. The retailer has already added more than 100 stores in the first year of this program, including 112 acquisition targets. Most of these were smaller deals of 10 or fewer sites.
Ankeny, Iowa-based Casey’s General Stores operates more than 2,600 convenience stores in 17 states. It is also the fifth-largest pizza chain in the U.S.
