Lineage, Inc., a leading temperature-controlled warehouse real estate investment trust (REIT), has confirmed the appointment of Robb LeMasters as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective November 10, 2025. The transition marks a significant leadership change as Rob Crisci, the outgoing CFO, moves toward retirement while maintaining an advisory capacity to ensure operational continuity.

Extensive Finance Leadership Background

Robb LeMasters brings over 20 years of experience in financial management and executive leadership to the role. Prior to joining Lineage, LeMasters served as Chief Financial Officer at BWX Technologies, a position that highlighted his capability to manage complex financial operations at established industrial companies. His professional trajectory includes a tenure as Managing Director at Blue Harbour Group, an investment firm specializing in public markets, as well as senior positions at prominent financial institutions including Theleme Partners, The Children’s Investment Fund, and Highbridge Capital Management.

Early in his career, Robb LeMasters worked as an analyst in the mergers and acquisitions division at Morgan Stanley before transitioning to the private equity sector with Forstmann Little & Co. This foundation in both investment banking and private equity provided him with a comprehensive understanding of financial strategy and capital management.

Leadership Transition & Investor Relations Strengthening

Complementing the CFO appointment, Lineage has also named Ki Bin Kim as Vice President of Investor Relations. Kim previously held the position of Managing Director of U.S. REIT Equity Research at Truist Securities, bringing specialized expertise in the real estate investment trust sector. In his new capacity, Kim will oversee Lineage’s global investor relations initiatives, serving as the primary point of contact between the company and the broader investment community.
