Dickson added: “I am very proud to have been part of A-Mark’s growth and expansion of the business to where it is today, and want to thank Greg and the Board of Directors for supporting my decision. I believe A-Mark is well positioned to make this transition and that Kathleen is the right candidate to assume the role of CFO, allowing for continued commitment to quality and continuity within the finance department.”
