Monolith

At Monolith, we celebrate the women who drive change and make a lasting impact. This Women's History Month, we’re proud to spotlight Suzanne Grafton, our Chief Accounting Officer, whose leadership and expertise help shape our financial future. Suzie began her career at Deloitte before joining Kansas City Southern during a period of rapid growth and transformation. At Kansas City Southern, she played a pivotal role in building the accounting team and implementing new processes and systems to support the company’s expansion. Now, at Monolith, Suzie is once again embracing an exciting opportunity to build and strengthen our accounting organization. “Suzie has elevated our accounting and finance functions by building a high-performing team and streamlining complex processes. Her ability to step in, take ownership, and drive results has had an immediate and lasting impact on Monolith. I’m grateful for her leadership and the expertise she brings.” - James Rens, Chief Financial Officer Thank you, Suzie, for your leadership example and for paving the way for future generations of women in business.

Celebrating 5 Years at Monolith! Some milestones are more than just numbers - they reflect the dedication, passion, and moments that shape a career. Two of our incredible team members have reached milestone anniversaries! We asked them to share what their journey at Monolith has meant to them: ?Michael Kugler - "It's been an amazing ride from commissioning to seeing a fully operational carbon black facility. Bringing technical expertise to Monolith is more than a job - it's contributing to something bigger and meaningful." ?Jeremy Pierce, PMP - "Living in Hallam, with Monolith - the Next Big Thing - right in your backyard, brings a deep sense of pride. It creates an exciting environment that challenges you to grow and accomplish something great every day." Thank you both for your commitment to our mission and the impact you make every day. Please join us in congratulating these team members on their milestones! #Monolith #HereYouCan #ThankYou #5Years

More than eight years ago, Markus Finkbeiner took a leap with Monolith - moving from California to Nebraska to help design, build, and operate our core technology. With a background in Mechatronics and mechanical engineering, Markus has spent his career turning research into real-world solutions. His deep expertise in high-temperature materials and applications has been key to turning Monolith’s technology into a commercially viable reality. For Markus, it’s about more than engineering - it’s about solving problems no one has solved before. It’s about building the world’s first commercially viable, high-temperature methane pyrolysis facility and working alongside people who are just as driven to rethink what’s possible. It’s also about impact - creating sustainable jobs in the heart of the country while preserving the environment for future generations. In Markus’ Words: ?? “To fully understand and solve tough challenges, you have to form a bond with the machine - you have to live and work on the equipment.” ?? “Always question what you don’t understand. Never take anything for granted. Always stay curious.” Markus, thank you for your expertise, your dedication, and for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. #Monolith #Engineering #Innovation #MethanePyrolysis #SustainableFuture
