Genesco Inc. announced that its Chief Financial Officer, Sandra Harris, will step down effective March 6, 2026, after a long tenure in the role. Harris will assist with the transition and remain as a consultant and principal accounting officer through the filing of the 2026 Form 10‑K on March 25.
In the interim, CEO Mimi E. Vaughn will assume the CFO position. Vaughn previously served as CFO from 2015 to 2019 and will work closely with the finance team to ensure continuity of financial operations and reporting. The company emphasized that the transition is not tied to any disagreement or operational issue and that financial controls remain robust.
The announcement comes as Genesco continues to navigate a complex retail environment. Its four operating segments—Journeys, Schuh, Johnston & Murphy, and Genesco Brands—have shown varied performance, but the company remains focused on its growth strategy across its multi‑brand portfolio.
The CFO transition is expected to maintain stability in financial governance while the company pursues its growth strategy. Management has indicated confidence in the continuity of financial operations and disclosure quality.
