Peabody Names Amy Schwetz CFO

(RTTNews) - Coal producer Peabody Energy (BTU) on Wednesday said it has named longstanding financial executive Amy Schwetz to executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Schwetz replaces Michael Crews, who has announced plans to step down by the end of July to take the top financial position at a major industrial firm.

"Amy is a skilled financial veteran and recognized leader within Peabody, and it is my pleasure to name her as our next Chief Financial Officer," said Peabody CEO Glenn Kellow.

Schwetz's financial career spans two decades, including 10 years at Peabody with experience in finance, internal and external audit, investor relations, financial planning and treasury.
