Penguin Solutions CFO Nate Olmstead to step down July 8; company reaffirms FY2026 outlook

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Penguin Solutions said Chief Financial Officer Nate Olmstead will resign effective July 8, 2026, to pursue an opportunity in a different industry, and that the departure is not related to any disagreement with the company. Vice President of Finance and Accounting Aaron Johnson will serve as interim CFO from July 9, 2026, while the company searches for a permanent CFO. The company also reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 outlook and expects net sales and diluted EPS at the high end of its outlook ranges, which matters to shareholders because it signals the company still expects strong results despite the finance leadership change.
