Richardson-based Fossil Group has appointed Randy Greben as chief financial officer, replacing interim CFO Andrew Skobe.
The company said the appointment reinforces its commitment to building its leadership team to drive long-term profitable growth.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Randy, who brings deep financial acumen and operating expertise to the company,” CEO Franco Fogliato said in a statement. “Randy is a proven leader and change agent. His appointment will add tremendous value to our team as we pursue our turnaround plan and focus on value creation for all our stakeholders.”
Fossil said Greben will oversee its global financial strategy, focusing on leading the organization’s financial turnaround and business transformation. Greben has more than two decades of financial leadership experience and brings a strong track record of business transformations—ranging from deep turnarounds to high-growth strategies for a number of leading consumer brands, Fossil said.
“For decades, Fossil Group and its iconic global brands have been part of the consumer experience,” Greben said in a statement. “I’m thrilled to join the team at this pivotal time in the company’s turnaround to help advance their strategies and build long-term shareholder value.”
Most recently, Greben was chief financial and operating officer at Casper Sleep, where he strengthened the balance sheet, led a successful sale process of the company’s Canada business, and significantly reduced overall costs.
Previously, he was CFO and treasurer of the meal kit company Blue Apron, where he led strategic actions including debt refinancings, capital raises, and significant governance changes. Greben joined Blue Apron after serving as SVP and CFO at apparel retailer ANN Inc. where he oversaw corporate and brand finance. He was responsible for several new business activations for the Ann Taylor, LOFT, and Lou & Grey brands.
Earlier in his career, Greben was CFO and general manager at Quidsi, a subsidiary of Amazon.com and a business best known for its flagship websites Diapers.com, Soap.com, and Wag.com.
