Summary
Bed Bath & Beyond appointed Jill Windrum as Chief Accounting Officer and Deputy Chief Financial Officer, effective August 31, 2026. Windrum will serve as the company's principal accounting officer, replacing Brian LaRose in that role.
She brings finance leadership experience from DHI Group, where she was VP of Financial Planning & Analysis, and previously held CFO and senior finance positions at Vantor (formerly Maxar Technologies) and audit roles at KPMG. The appointment represents a routine executive succession in the accounting function.
Windrum's compensation package—$400,000 base salary with a 50% target bonus and $400,000 in sign-on equity—is standard for a CAO role at a company of this size. The filing provides no information about the circumstances of LaRose's departure or whether he is leaving the company entirely. For retail holders, this is a procedural leadership change with no immediate operational or strategic implications.

In the event of the Company’s termination of Ms. Windrum without Cause (as defined in the CAO Employment Agreement) or Ms. Windrum’s resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the CAO Employment Agreement) (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), Ms. Windrum will be entitled to the following severance benefits (subject to execution and non-revocation of a release of claims): (i) a cash amount equal to her then-current base salary for a period of (a) six months, plus (b) one additional month for each full year of employment with us, up to a maximum of twelve months (the “Severance Period”); (ii) a prorated target bonus for the year in which such termination occurs; (iii) continued health, dental and vision coverage during the Severance Period; and (iv) accelerated vesting of such number of her time-based equity awards as would otherwise have vested during the 12 months following such termination; provided, however, that, if such Qualifying Termination occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control, then, in lieu of the foregoing benefits, Ms. Windrum will be entitled to the following severance benefits (subject to execution and non-revocation of a release of claims): (i) a cash amount equal to her then-current base salary for the Severance Period; (ii) continued health, dental and vision coverage during the Severance Period; (iii) her target annual bonus for the year of termination; and (iv) full accelerated vesting of all time-based equity awards.
If terminated without cause or if she resigns for good reason, Windrum receives severance including six to twelve months of base salary (depending on tenure), a prorated target bonus, continued health benefits, and partial equity vesting acceleration. Enhanced severance applies if termination occurs within 12 months of a change in control, including full vesting of time-based equity awards and a full target bonus rather than prorated.
