Ruger Names Andrew Wieland as New Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is entering a new chapter in its financial leadership, naming Andrew Wieland as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The appointment marks a planned transition as longtime CFO Tom Dineen prepares to step down after nearly three decades with the company.

Wieland will take the reins of Ruger’s financial operations, overseeing forecasting, corporate budgeting, financial reporting, and investment evaluation. In doing so, he will play a central role in advancing the company’s long-term priorities and executing its 2030 strategic plan.

Notably, Wieland brings deep experience from Eaton Corporation, where he built a strong track record in financial leadership. Most recently, he served as Vice President of Finance and Controller for Eaton’s Electrical Sector Americas: Assemblies and Residential Solutions Group. Over the course of his career, he has led complex financial planning initiatives, including long-term strategy development, annual profit planning, and multi-site financial forecasting.

Moreover, Wieland has consistently driven operational improvements. He has spearheaded efforts to expand manufacturing capacity, modernize financial systems, and enhance efficiency across organizations. As a result, he has developed a reputation for aligning financial strategy with broader business goals in fast-moving environments.

Ruger President and CEO Todd Seyfert emphasized the strategic importance of the hire. “Andrew’s expertise in financial discipline, manufacturing optimization, and strategic planning makes him the ideal leader for Ruger’s future,” Seyfert said. “His combination of financial clarity, operational insight, and leadership focus will help us continue to grow, innovate, and deliver value to our employees, customers, and shareholders.”

At the same time, the transition highlights Ruger’s continued focus on long-term financial strength and operational excellence. By bringing in a leader with both financial and manufacturing expertise, the company is reinforcing its commitment to sustainable growth.

Meanwhile, Ruger is also recognizing the legacy of Tom Dineen. He joined the company in 1997, became CFO in 2003, and later took on the combined role of Vice President, CFO, and Treasurer in 2006. Throughout his tenure, Dineen helped shape Ruger’s disciplined capital allocation strategy and guided the company through decades of expansion.

“Tom’s leadership has been vital in strengthening Ruger’s financial foundation and guiding the company through decades of growth,” Seyfert said. “We are deeply grateful for his dedication and wish him the very best in his next chapter.”

Dineen will officially step down as CFO on March 31, 2026. However, he will remain with the company through April 30 to support a smooth leadership transition.
