“Ben and I have worked together for 25 years as trusted colleagues, partners and friends,” Crafton said in a statement. “His commitment to our company, clients and customers has been instrumental in the growth of Crossmark. His deep industry knowledge and relationships as well as his tenure with the company and strong leadership make him uniquely qualified to become our next CEO.”
