WD-40 CFO Sara Hyzer to leave CFO role; successor search underway
WD-40 Company CFO Sara Hyzer will transition from her CFO and principal accounting officer roles and is expected to become Division President, Americas once a new CFO is appointed. The company has begun an external search for a successor CFO and has not yet named one, so Hyzer remains CFO in the meantime, which leaves a leadership gap in the finance function for shareholders to watch.
Key points
- Hyzer stays CFO until a successor is appointed and remains PAO until June 29, 2026
- Nicholas D. Giordano, age 37, designated PAO by the board on June 1, 2026, effective June 29, 2026
- Patricia Q. Olsem moves from Division President, Americas to newly created Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer role
- Company will file a new 8-K once a successor CFO is named
