Genesco Inc. has appointed Jonathan Collins as its new senior vice president of finance and chief financial officer, effective August 3. Collins, who previously served as CFO at America's Car-Mart and held multiple leadership roles at Walmart, will report to chairman, president and CEO Mimi Vaughn, who had been interim CFO since March 2026 following the departure of former finance chief Cassandra Harris. Vaughn highlighted Collins' public company leadership and multi-channel global retail expertise, noting his experience will support the company's Footwear First strategy. Jefferies analyst Corey Tarlowe views the management change positively, citing Genesco's strong momentum and a $40 million to $50 million cost-savings program that supports long-term margin expansion, though he expects the Schuh business to remain a near-term drag.
