Former Sportsman’s Warehouse CFO Joins Leslie’s

Leslie’s, Inc. appointed Jeff White, former CFO at Sportsman’s Warehouse, as CFO and treasurer, effective October 5,

White worked at Sportsman’s Warehouse for just over nine years. As CFO from September 2021 through August 2025, he led the rebuilding of the FP&A and investor relations functions, led the company’s Investor Day activities, drove two successful credit facility renegotiations, and funded a FILO term loan to augment the company’s liquidity, according to Leslie’s, the retailer of pool and spa care supplies.

White also brings a strong background in SEC reporting, SOX compliance, M&A due diligence, and operational process improvements to his new role.

Prior to his tenure at Sportsman’s Warehouse, White was an audit manager at KPMG LLP, where he spent six years in roles of increasing responsibility.

At Leslie’s, he succeeds Tony Iskander, who notified the company on August 15, 2025, of his resignation from the position of interim chief financial officer and treasurer, effective October 4, due to personal reasons.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jeff to the Leslie’s leadership team,” said Jason McDonell, Leslie’s chief executive officer. “His breadth of experience in financial strategy, capital markets and delivering enhanced operational efficiency makes him the ideal leader to guide our finance organization forward. I am confident his proven ability to build high-performing finance organizations and leading investor engagement will support Leslie’s continued focus on disciplined execution, operational performance and transparent communication with all shareholders. Jeff’s expertise will help provide stability and financial discipline as we deliver against our strategic initiatives while remaining focused on long-term value creation for shareholders.”

To ensure a smooth transition and support the company’s ongoing strategic initiatives, Iskander will remain with the company in an advisory role through January 3, 2026.
