Summary
Bath & Body Works announced the resignation of CFO Eva Boratto, who is leaving after providing notice on May 20, 2026, to pursue another professional opportunity. Her departure is effective June 12, and she will assist with the transition until then. The company moved quickly to name Tom Javitch, a 16-year veteran who most recently led Brand Finance, as Interim CFO. D.
Andrew Meeting, an 8-year company employee with prior Ernst & Young audit experience, will step into the Controller and Principal Accounting Officer role. Retail investors should note that CFO departures can signal internal challenges or simply career moves, but the 'interim' designation suggests the company is still searching for a permanent replacement.
The company also released Q1 2026 earnings and Q2 guidance on the same day, which may provide context for the timing of this leadership change. Watch for: (1) announcement of a permanent CFO search or appointment in coming months, and (2) any commentary on the Q1 earnings call about strategic direction or operational challenges that might have influenced the timing of Boratto's departure.
