MillerKnoll, Inc., a growth-oriented small-cap value company in the industrial and consumer sectors, announced President and Chief Executive Officer Andi Owen will retire on June 30, 2026, as mutually agreed with the Board. Ms. Owen has resigned from the Board and has begun a leave of absence from the Company, effective immediately. Jeff Stutz, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, will perform the duties of the Chief Executive Officer during Ms. Owen's leave of absence and will become Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company on June 30, 2026.
The MillerKnoll Board will conduct a comprehensive search process, including internal and external candidates, with the assistance of a leading executive search firm, to identify the Company's next CEO.
"Jeff is an accomplished executive and tenured Company veteran who has served in multiple senior leadership positions at MillerKnoll and brings extensive knowledge and insights from his more than 25 years in the industry," said John R. Hoke III, Chairman of the Board. "The Board appreciates Jeff stepping into the CEO role on an interim basis, and we are confident that MillerKnoll is well positioned to continue driving long-term value for customers and shareholders under his leadership.
On behalf of the Board, I also want to thank Andi for her leadership, dedication, and many contributions to MillerKnoll. During her tenure, Andi led the Company through a period of significant transformation while continuing to strengthen our position as a global design leader. This decision reflects Andi's desire to devote greater attention to important family matters while ensuring an orderly leadership transition for the Company. We are grateful for her experience, service, and commitment to our associates, customers, and shareholders, and we wish her well."
"During my years at MillerKnoll and before that, Herman Miller, I have developed both an affinity for and admiration of our iconic brands, deep customer and dealer relationships, and ability to consistently innovate and expand our market opportunities," said Mr. Stutz. "I will work closely with MillerKnoll's Board and our leadership team to drive results across our collective of brands. Looking ahead, I remain focused on ensuring the disciplined execution of our strategic priorities and maintaining the momentum underway at MillerKnoll."
"It has been an honor to serve as CEO and to work alongside the extraordinary associates who have made MillerKnoll the company it is today," said Ms. Owen. "I am deeply proud of what we have built together and grateful for the creativity, resilience, and commitment of this team. I have worked with Jeff for many years across our Company, and I have great confidence in his leadership as MillerKnoll enters its next chapter of growth and value creation."
