For the past 18 years, Roger Vang has been an integral part of Diversified Plastic’s leadership team as CFO. In 2021, Brooklyn Park-based DPI doubled its revenue and delivered record profits from an acquisition he was instrumental in. The driving force behind DPI’s employee stock ownership plan in 2011, Vang continues to steward the program as trustee, achieving a record-high share price in 2022—a 2,700% increase since inception. CEO Kevin Hogan calls Vang a “true business partner,” supporting the company board, executive team, and employee owners with “insightful financial analysis, strategic insight, and caring support.” Outside of DPI, Vang is president of the Brooklyn Park Development Corporation, which has helped provide more than $700,000 in support to new Brooklyn Park businesses.
