The chief financial officer at Haworth is retiring after 15 years of leadership and will be replaced by a longtime colleague.
The Holland-based furniture manufacturer said Wednesday that John Mooney is retiring in December and will be succeeded by Scott Poulton, a 21-year Haworth veteran.
It appears that the 96 year-old department store JCPenney is about to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
U.S. mall owners Simon Property Group and Brookfield Property Partners are close to finalizing an $800 million deal that would buy the struggling retailer out of bankruptcy, according to a report by CNBC. The deal would save about 70,000 jobs, along with 650 JCPenney stores from liquidating and shuttering, the report said.
Over the remaining months of 2020, worldwide office furniture manufacturer Haworth Inc. will undergo a major transition within its financial leadership team.
Chief Financial Officer John Mooney announced over the summer that he would be retiring at the end of the year. Haworth recently announced that it appointed Scott Poulton to succeed Mooney as CFO.
