December 2, 2025  by Karen Parrish in Business Strategy, Industry   

"Since joining Sleep Number, we’ve taken decisive action to stabilize the business and position it for sustainable growth. Our strategy is clear and centered on our strong brand, differentiated products, and simplified operating model to deliver value for shareholders, customers, and team members. We believe that Amy’s experience in driving profitability and operational excellence will be valuable to us as we move the business forward,” said Linda Findley, Sleep Number’s president and CEO. “On behalf of the Board and our team members, I would like to thank Bob for his contributions to Sleep Number and for stepping in as interim CFO. We wish him continued success in his future endeavors.”

O’Keefe brings over 30 years of experience in leading operational, strategic, and financial transformations across public and private companies in the consumer products, technology, and wellness sectors. She is widely recognized for partnering with CEOs, boards, and executive teams to create shareholder value, accelerate operational performance improvement, and build high-impact, high-integrity finance organizations.

“I am excited to join Sleep Number at such a pivotal time in its turnaround. With science-based sleep technology, highly differentiated products and broad brand recognition, Sleep Number has exceptional assets upon which to build,” said O’Keefe. “I look forward to partnering with Linda and the entire team to advance the significant work already done, strengthen the financial foundation and position the company for sustainable, profitable growth.”

Most recently, O’Keefe served as chief financial and administrative officer of Avaya, where she played a key leadership role in its operational, strategic, and financial transformation, driving significantly improved free cash flow. Prior to Avaya, O’Keefe spent nearly half of her career at The Black & Decker Corporation and subsequently served as Chief Financial Officer for multiple public and private companies, including Weight Watchers International, Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, Savant Systems, and D&M Holdings. She also serves on the Board of Directors of TruBridge, Inc., where she is the Compensation Committee Chair and serves on the Audit Committee.

Reiteration of Guidance and Turnaround Strategy

Sleep Number is reaffirming its full year 2025 financial guidance and expectations for net sales, adjusted EBITDA, year-end profitability exit rate, and compliance with its revised loan covenants, including in the fourth quarter of 2025. The company continues to perform within expectations at this stage in its turnaround.

The company also released an updated investor presentation, ahead of its upcoming participation in investor conferences. The presentation provides a comprehensive overview of its strategic transformation, operational progress, and financial outlook.

The updated investor presentation outlines a focused, company-wide turnaround strategy designed to reposition the brand, expand customer reach, and reignite growth. It highlights actions taken since April 2025 under new leadership, including significant cost reductions, operational streamlining, and an amended and extended credit agreement that provides financial flexibility to execute the plan.
