James Noonan was named chief executive officer for TriMark USA, a Massachusetts-based foodservice equipment and supplies dealer. Noonan replaces Terry O’Brien, who retired “in order to focus on his health and larger life goals,” per a company-issued release announcing the transition.

O’Brien will act as an advisor to Jim Clough, TriMark’s chairman of the board, to ensure a smooth transition.

Prior to his appointment to CEO, Noonan served as TriMark’s chief financial officer. Prior to joining TriMark, he served as CFO of Hollingsworth & Vose and Suffolk Construction. TriMark has launched a search to find Noonan’s replacement as CFO, the release added.

Noonan becomes TriMark’s third CEO in four years. O’Brien joined TriMark as CEO in October 2024 when Clough was named chairman of the board. O’Brien succeeded Tom Wienclaw, who became CEO in August of 2023.
