AccuWeather Global Weather Center – November 21, 2018 – AccuWeather, the world’s largest and fastest-growing weather media and business company, today announced that long-time Board Member Edward Arditte has joined its leadership team as Chief Financial Officer. Arditte has decades of experience in finance and operations at large global companies including Fairway Market, Tyco International Ltd., and Textron, Inc.

Said Arditte, “I’m delighted to be contributing to AccuWeather in this new capacity. Consistently, AccuWeather has distinguished itself as a company steeped in innovation and steady financial growth, while helping people and business make the best decisions when weather is a factor. I’m particularly excited about the chance to work even more closely with AccuWeather’s talented leadership team to help the company maintain its competitive edge while delivering new and exciting products and services known for their Superior Accuracy and value.”

Prior to joining AccuWeather, Arditte was Co-president and Chief Financial Officer for Fairway Market, a New York-based company that operates 15 specialty stores in the greater New York area.
