Harsco names Anshooman Aga as chief financial officer

July 23, 2021
Aga joins Harsco from Cubic Corporation where he was the executive vice president and chief financial officer since October 2017.

Anshooman Aga will be appointed as Harsco's senior vice president and chief financial officer on Aug. 16.

He will succeed Pete Minan, who previously announced his planned retirement and will continue in the role of special advisor to the CEO, assisting with the transition.

Aga joins Harsco from Cubic Corporation where he was the executive vice president and chief financial officer since October 2017. In that capacity, he led all finance functions in addition to manufacturing, procurement, IT, corporate development and real estate. He was also instrumental in the completion of the May 2021 sale of Cubic to Veritas Capital and Evergreen Coast Capital Corporation, in a transaction valued at approximately $3 billion.  

Prior to joining Cubic, Aga was senior vice president and chief financial officer of AECOM’s multi-billion-dollar Design and Consulting Services business in the Americas. He also held a series of financial leadership positions at Siemens, including chief financial officer roles for the Energy Automation business based in Nuremburg, Germany, Siemen’s Rail Electrification and TurboCare. He was previously named "CFO of the Year," by the San Diego Business Journal for his exceptional financial leadership.  

“I could not be more pleased to have Anshooman join us as our new chief financial officer," said Nick Grasberger, Harsco president and CEO. “Anshooman’s financial acumen, multi-function discipline and positive leadership style, will make him a great fit for our organization.”

Minan, who announced his retirement last December, joined Harsco in 2014 after spending nearly 30 years with KPMG in a series of audit and operational leadership roles.  

“I want to thank Pete for his many contributions and dedication to our company, and his willingness to delay his retirement to ensure a smooth and successful transition,” said Grasberger.

In his new role, Aga will become a member of the executive leadership team.
