Bradley Beach, NJ, Release: August 11, 2021. For Immediate Release
The Cookware & Bakeware Alliance is proud to announce the addition of Chris Bauman, Vice President of Finance at Le Creuset to its board.
Bauman is a Penn State University graduate and has been in the cookware and bakeware industry for over 17 years. He started his career with PriceWaterhouseCoopers and transitioned into the industry as a financial analyst.
As the Vice President of Finance and Accounting, he worked eight years with GroupeSEB, where he focused on the All-Clad and Krups Brands. Bauman then moved to Charleston, South Carolina and joined the Le Creuset team where he currently is the Vice President of Finance and Accounting. He aids in all aspects of the business and corporate strategy.
Given the industry he has experience in, Bauman is always conflicted between cooking in his own cookware at home or dining out and indulging in all the creative new dishes that the chefs of Charleston have to offer!
When asked about his new role with the CBA, Bauman expressed, “I am really excited for the opportunity to become a member of the CBA Board, both for me personally and for our Brand. I truly feel it will be a mutually beneficial partnership.”
The CBA is accepting new members who have a long-term, primary commitment to the cookware and bakeware industry and have a financial, operational, and marketing presence in the U.S. and/or Canada. To learn more about becoming a member of the CBA, visit www.cookware.org/join.
