Chewy (NYSE:CHWY) stock is in the news Friday after company Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Mario Marte announced his retirement.
The retirement of Marte goes into effect on July 28, 2023. To cover for his departure, current Chief Accounting Officer Stacy Bowman will act as interim CFO while the company searches for a permanent replacement.
Marte’s retirement from Chewy isn’t too surprising for fans of the stock. The company had already announced that it was searching for a new CFO to replace him. However, traders may not have expected his departure to before a successor was found.
Sumit Singh, CEO of Chewy, said the following about CFO Mario Marte’s retirement:
“I want to thank Mario for his many years of service to Chewy and for the role he played in steering Chewy’s growth and margin expansion over the course of his tenure. We wish him well as he takes some much-deserved time with his family.”
