The Company has initiated an active search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer and is moving expeditiously to identify a strategic leader to continue driving shareholder value.
Genesco said CFO Cassandra “Sandra” Harris will step down effective March 6, 2026, to pursue other opportunities.
She will support an orderly transition, participate in the Q4 and FY26 earnings call, and continue as a consultant through the FY26 Form 10-K filing on March 25, 2026.
CEO Mimi E Vaughn will serve as interim CFO while the company searches for a permanent replacement.
Effective March 6, 2026, Mimi E. Vaughn, Genesco’s Chief Executive Officer, will assume the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer. In this seamless transition, Vaughn, who served as Genesco’s Chief Financial Officer from 2015 to 2019, will work closely with the Company’s deeply experienced financial leadership team and management to ensure continuity.
“We thank Sandra for her contributions to Genesco and appreciate her support during this transition. I am confident in the strength of our management and financial leadership team as we continue to execute on Genesco’s long-term growth strategy,” said Vaughn.
Harris’s departure is not related to any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to its operations, policies, or financial reporting, and there were no issues involving the Company’s financial controls, disclosures, or accounting practices.
