ATLANTA — Vestis Corp., a provider of uniforms and workplace supplies based here, reports that Kelly Janzen, executive vice president (EVP) and chief financial officer (CFO), has departed the company to pursue other opportunities.
In conjunction with this leadership transition, Vestis has appointed Adam K. Bowen, vice president of financial planning and analysis, as interim CFO. He brings more than 20 years of strategic finance experience to Vestis, having previously served as chief accounting officer at Sonder Inc. and BlueLinx Holdings Inc. Bowen joined Vestis in February 2025.
“Adam is a proven leader within our finance organization who has been instrumental in developing and executing our business transformation strategy,” states President/CEO Jim Barber. “His strong financial acumen and deep understanding of our operations will provide continuity and focus as we advance our strategic priorities.”
Vestis has engaged an executive search firm to conduct a comprehensive internal and external search for a permanent CFO, overseen by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors.
“During her tenure, Kelly built a strong finance team and guided the organization through a transformation marked by improved financial discipline and operational rigor, while laying the groundwork for this next, important phase of our value creation journey,” Barber says.
“On behalf of the entire Vestis team, I thank Kelly for her many contributions and wish her continued success in her future endeavors.”
Janzen says, “Under Jim’s leadership, Vestis has taken decisive action to strengthen our operations and position the company to capture operating leverage, establishing a solid foundation for sustained, profitable growth and long-term value creation. I have great confidence in Adam and the entire Vestis team as they continue executing on the company’s transformation and building on the meaningful progress we have achieved over the past year.”
Vestis reaffirmed its full-year 2026 financial guidance, as previously announced in the fiscal fourth quarter and full-year 2025 earnings release issued on Dec. 1.
