07:03 AM EDT, 08/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Trimble (TRMB) said Monday it named Kenny Bement as its chief accounting officer, effective next month.

Bement succeeds Julie Shepard, who will retire from the company in early 2026 after more than 18 years, the company said.

Bement and Shepard will work together over the next six to eight months to ensure a seamless transition, the company said.

Bement has more than two decades of financial experience, including in senior roles at Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) and Raytheon (RTX), the company said.

Trimble also said it named Jim Palermo to the newly created position of chief information officer. Palermo was previously CIO for Red Hat.
