Groundworks, the foundation and water management solutions company, hired Michael Mullican as CFO. Last October, Mullican stepped down from Academy Sports as president and CFO to pursue personal and professional opportunities. Sam Johnson, previously EVP of retail operations, succeeded him.
In addition to overseeing Academy going public in 2020, Mullican oversaw customer insights and analytics, corporate strategy, financial planning, real estate and construction, inventory control and loss prevention. He also previously held management roles at Meijer and Family Dollar Stores.
As CFO at Groundworks, Mullican will oversee finance, human resources, IT, legal, risk management, and manufacturing for the company’s Virginia Beach, VA, headquarters.
“With Groundworks continuing our incredible growth momentum, we are kicking off 2024 with a critical hire in Michael Mullican. His proven track record of success in taking world-class organizations to new heights is exactly what Groundworks needs as we double down on our growth and market leadership nationwide,” said Matt Malone, founder and CEO of Groundworks.
“I am eager to bring my years of experience with retail brands over to a new industry and to provide a fresh perspective to help Groundworks achieve its ambitious business goals. The company’s outstanding commitment to customers and employees, as well as its strong leadership and vision to reshape the home services industry, were a huge draw for me,” said Mullican. “I look forward to helping steer Groundworks to its next exciting and successful chapter.”
