“I’m honored to be named the Interim CEO of Helen of Troy, the company that I’ve been privileged to serve for almost two decades,” said Grass. “I am committed to working closely with the Board, our leadership team and our talented associates to capitalize on the opportunities we see in front of us and enable our powerful portfolio of global brands to more profitably grow in the year ahead and well into the future. Like the Board, I strongly believe in Helen of Troy’s tremendous potential for sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value creation.”
Helen of Troy’s Board has engaged an executive search firm to assist with identifying a permanent CEO. Grass will serve as our interim until that time.
