Motion Industries--the distributor of maintenance, repair and operation replacement parts and industrial technology solutions headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama--has announced the promotion of Patrick Cummings to senior vice president and chief financial officer (CFO). 

Cummings first joined Motion in 2012 as AVP of Corporate Compliance. He held the position of U.S. Controller from 2014-2019, before becoming VP of Financial Planning & Analysis, until he was asked to serve as interim CFO after Greg Cook, Motion's previous CFO, moved to the U.S. Automotive Group at Genuine Parts Company (GPC).

"Patrick will become a vital part of the Motion executive team, leading Motion to achieve our financial goals in the coming years," said Motion President Randy Breaux. 

Cummings will report to Breaux and will also work closely with Bert Nappier, EVP and CFO of GPC.
