ORLANDO,FL— Foundation Partners Group (FPG)
has announced that Bob Bukala will succeed Brad Rex
as president and CEO of the company.
“When Brad arrived at FPG four years ago, he estab-
lished a compelling vision for an innovative company
to reinvent the funeral experience. He has successfully
executed against that vision while significantly grow-
ing the company and,
now, Foundation Partners
is a leader in the indus-
try,” stated Henry Hagan,
chairman of the board.
“The board, access hold-
ings and Brad are pleased
that Bukala will be lead-
ing the company in the
next phase of growth.”
“I am sad to leave our
outstanding team, but
know that Foundation
Partners is well positioned
for the future. Custom-
ers have embraced our
ShareLife® difference and
we provide a compelling proposition for firms that want
to join our network, as evidenced by the nine acqui-
sitions we completed this year,” said Rex. “Bob and I
joined the company at the same time and have worked
closely together to achieve the company’s current suc-
cess. FPG is in good hands with Bob.”
“I’m privileged to succeed Brad in the role of presi-
dent and CEO and will continue to build the compa-
ny’s future by leveraging the foundation of innovation
and impeccable customer satisfaction that our fami-
lies have come to expect from us,” commented Bukala.
“Foundation Partners is a market leader in bringing in-
novation to the funeral service industry and our appe-
tite for organic growth and acquisitions has never been
greater. I look forward to working with the team and
continuing to exceed expectations for the families and
team members we serve.”
Bukala is an accomplished business executive with a
proven track record growing companies through organ-
ic initiatives and acquisitions. Prior to accepting the role
of president and CEO, Bukala was executive vice presi-
dent and chief financial officer of the company and was
instrumental in accelerating the pace of the nine acqui-
sitions FPG completed over the past year. Prior to join-
ing FPG, Bukala was chief financial and administrative
officer of Geomentum Inc. (IPG, NYSE) and previ-
ously served as chief financial officer and treasurer for
