Kent Robertson is leaving his position as President and CEO and will be transitioning his responsibilities to Chris Blackwell, an advisor to Access Holdings.
According to Lee Senderov, Chief Marketing & Digital Officer, Chris will serve as interim CEO while the Company searches for a new chief executive. Chris was actively involved in the early stages of the Access-Foundation Partners partnership. Chris will be supported by Bob Bukala, former Foundation Partners CEO and current board member & advisor, as well as the company’s strong leadership team made up of experienced business executives and veteran funeral service professionals.
Kent joined Foundation Partners in March 2020, and the Foundation Partners team will always be grateful for his leadership, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when he led the company through some of the industry’s most challenging days.
“Today, the company stands ready to begin the next chapter of its evolution,” says Senderov. “We remain focused on creating the funeral home of the future by accelerating our digital efforts, driving growth, and providing families with the best possible experience. We look forward to announcing our new CEO and some exciting new initiatives in the weeks and months ahead.”
