HanesBrands reported that its interim chief financial officer, Scott Lewis, was appointed chief financial officer effective immediately. Lewis will also continue as chief accounting officer, a position he has held since 2015.
On February 28, 2023, Michael Dastugue resigned for family reasons, and Lewis assumed the interim position.
A 17-year HanesBrands veteran with an extensive background in accounting, tax, controllership, and external reporting, Lewis brings over 25 years of financial leadership to the CFO role. In addition to serving as interim chief financial officer since March, Lewis spent eight years as HanesBrands’ chief accounting officer, during which time he also worked as interim CFO from January 2020 through April 2021.
Lewis was the transformation lead for implementing Hanes Brands’ ERP system, led the work to establish global shared services, helped lead Hanes Brands through the pandemic, and led the refinancing of its debt in early 2023. Before joining HanesBrands, Lewis spent time with KPMG as a senior manager for audit and advisory.
“Scott has deep knowledge of our business and financial organization, and the Board and I are pleased to appoint him to the CFO role on a permanent basis,” said Steve Bratspies, HanesBrands CEO. “The consummate team player, Scott, has done an excellent job filling in as our Interim CFO on two separate occasions. With the experience and skillsets he brings, Scott is ideally suited to help position the Company for future success. On a personal level, I appreciate his partnership and look forward to working with him more closely to execute on our strategic priorities and Full Potential Plan.”
