The Honest Company, a personal care company dedicated to creating cleanly-formulated and sustainably-designed products, announced that chief financial officer Dave Loretta will retire from the company this year. The company has begun a search for Loretta’s replacement, which is being supported by a leading executive search firm. Loretta will stay with the company through the transition of the new CFO.
“Dave joined us at a pivotal time in our Transformation Initiative with the goal of restructuring our financial model and establishing a framework for long-term financial stability. We are deeply grateful for the mark he’s left on both our financial strategy and our organization as a whole,” says Carla Vernón, CEO of The Honest Company. “Thanks to Dave’s leadership, we have an exceptional finance team in place, the business is stronger than ever, and we are well-positioned for the future, all of which gives us great confidence as we move forward with the search for our next CFO. On behalf of everyone at The Honest Company, we thank Dave for his dedication, leadership and partnership, and we wish him the very best in this next chapter.”
Loretta joined The Honest Company in 2023, helping the company deliver increased revenue, significant expansion in gross margin, and positive operating profitability in Q4 2023, which continued quarterly through our most recently reported Q3 2024 results versus the comparable periods in the prior year.
“It has been an honor to serve as The Honest Company’s CFO and to be part of this remarkable brand, working alongside such a talented group of people,” says Loretta. “I am proud that in my time at Honest, I was able to advance the strength of the business model as well as the finance organization. I leave knowing that The Honest Company is well positioned for continued success, and I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition.”
Loretta will continue in his role until his retirement and will work closely with the leadership team and the Board of Directors to facilitate a seamless transition to a new CFO.
