Following the previously announced CEO succession, and as we transition the executive leadership team for the future, Calandra will succeed Ken Hannah, who has served as Chief Financial Officer of Caleres for the last seven years. Hannah will be available to Caleres as needed to support this orderly transition.

“Jack is a collaborative leader, and his diverse experience makes him the ideal addition to the Caleres leadership team,” said Jay Schmidt, president of Caleres. “His strong financial background and deep expertise in retail, omni-channel, and consumer goods will be essential as we continue to position Caleres for long-term success.”

“I see a tremendous amount of opportunity for future value-creation at Caleres,” said Calandra. “I look forward to working with the entire Caleres team to unlock growth opportunities across the enterprise, to further bolster our financial structure and to drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

Jack will have responsibility for the company’s finance, accounting, investor relations, external reporting, treasury and tax functions.

“I am confident Jack will be an excellent fit with the Caleres leadership team,” said Diane Sullivan, chairman and CEO. “With his strong business acumen and extensive industry knowledge, Jack is exceptionally well-equipped to help lead the organization forward and to drive significant incremental value for our many stakeholders.”

“Ken’s leadership has been invaluable over the last several years – especially during the depths of the pandemic – strengthening our financial foundation and helping establish a course for our future success,” said Sullivan. “On behalf of the board of directors and all of our Associates, I would like to thank Ken for his contributions over the last seven years and wish him the very best.”
