E Tech Group, a leading provider of industrial automation and control systems integration, is pleased to announce the appointment of Karla Lunan as chief financial officer, effective immediately. In her new role, Lunan will oversee both the finance and human resources teams. Lunan succeeds Sharon Koenig, who is retiring after a distinguished tenure and will remain with the company through July 3, to ensure a smooth transition.

With more than 25 years of leadership experience spanning finance, human resources, and IT, Lunan brings a proven track record across industries such as energy, construction, and manufacturing. She has held senior leadership roles at both private and publicly traded companies, including The Tile Shop, MasTec, and Trueline Infrastructure Solutions. Her background includes leading large-scale financial operations, managing mergers and acquisitions, implementing ERP systems, and guiding enterprise-wide transformation initiatives.

At The Tile Shop, a $400M+ publicly held company, Lunan led financial, legal, and HR functions, developed strategic planning and forecasting processes, and participated in investor relations activities. At MasTec, she supported revenue growth from $400 million to $1 billion by overseeing finance, HR, and IT for multiple business units and led integration efforts following major acquisitions. Most recently, at Trueline Infrastructure Solutions, she standardized financial reporting practices, reduced month-end reporting cycle time by 70%, and developed long-term forecasting models to support strategic growth goals.

Lunan’s experience building scalable financial processes, integrating acquisitions, and driving operational excellence aligns with E Tech Group’s next phase of growth.  Her leadership will be instrumental as the company expands its international footprint and invests in emerging areas such as cybersecurity and business intelligence.

“Karla’s deep expertise in financial strategy, operational efficiency, and enterprise transformation will be an incredible asset as we continue to grow and evolve,” said Matt Wise, CEO of E Tech Group. “She will play a key role in helping E Tech Group scale globally and advance our capabilities in cybersecurity and business intelligence.  Beyond her impressive professional accomplishments, Karla’s collaborative leadership style, focus on continuous improvement, and strong work ethic make her an outstanding fit for our culture.” 

“I’m truly excited to get to know the team and the people of E Tech Group,” said Karla Lunan. “My vision for finance and HR is to evolve them into trusted business partners—teams that leaders proactively turn to for insight and support. Numbers can be complex, but they tell a story. When we understand that story, we can make smarter, faster decisions. I’m committed to ensuring finance and HR play a strategic role in driving the business forward.”
