LeMasters will succeed Rob Crisci, who previously announced his intent to retire and will remain with the company in an advisory role through a transition period.

LeMasters brings to Lineage more than two decades of finance and executive leadership experience, with a record of driving disciplined growth, capital efficiency, and shareholder value across complex, capital-intensive businesses.

He began his career as an analyst at Morgan Stanley in the mergers and acquisitions group and subsequently joined Forstmann Little & Co. as a private equity analyst. LeMasters earned a bachelor’s degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Business Administration from the Harvard Business School.

“Robb’s depth of experience in managing complex financial operations and creating long-term value for global investors makes him an ideal fit for Lineage,” said Greg Lehmkuhl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lineage. “His leadership will further strengthen our team and support our strategy to grow as the world’s most trusted, connected temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics partner.”

I look forward to partnering with the leadership team to build on that momentum, advance our financial strategy, and deliver value for our stakeholders.”

Today, Lineage also announced the appointment of Ki Bin Kim as Vice President of Investor Relations.

Kim joins Lineage from Truist Securities, where he served as Managing Director of U.S. REIT Equity Research. With over two decades of experience in financial services and equity research, Kim brings deep public real estate sector expertise and a proven track record of delivering actionable insights to institutional investors. At Truist, he was recognized for his coverage of leading public REITs and consistently ranked among top analysts for his performance.

“We are thrilled to welcome Ki Bin to the Lineage team,” said Lehmkuhl. “His extensive knowledge of the REIT landscape and strong relationships across the investment community will be invaluable as we continue to grow our business and communicate our strategic vision to our stakeholders.”
