KB Home said late Tuesday that it has appointed Jeff Kaminski as chief financial officer, effective June 7.

Kaminski, 48, also will hold the title of executive vice president at the Los Angeles homebuilder. He most recently was CFO and senior vice president at Federal-Mogul Corp., a Southfield, Mich. supplier of automotive power train and safety technologies and a Fortune 500 company, where he had worked for 20 years.

“Jeff brings with him a broad background in key financial disciplines and extensive leadership experience in a leading public company,” said Chief Executive Jeffrey T. Mezger in a statement.

KB Home’s previous CFO, Raymond Silcock, left the company in December after less than three months on the job.

Prior to the Kaminski announcement, KB Home shares closed down 2 cents, or less than a percent, to $14.70 on the New York Stock Exchange.
