Shoe Carnival, Inc. said Kerry Jackson will once again assume his former role as the company’s chief financial officer (CFO) , effective September 28. Jackson, who also adds an EVP title, rejoined Shoe Carnival in June 2025 as senior vice president, new business development, after retiring in May 2023.
Jackson previously served as the company’s CFO for 27 years and has been with Shoe Carnival for a total of 35 years.
“I’m excited to have Kerry rejoin my executive leadership team at this pivotal moment for Shoe Carnival,” said Mark Worden, president and chief executive officer. “This week, we celebrated the grand opening of our 100th Shoe Station store, growing from the 21 locations we originally acquired, with plans to exceed 215 stores by July 2026. With Kerry already leading our business development efforts and his deep knowledge of our business, this is the natural time for his return to the CFO role as we execute our strategic plan.”
Patrick Edwards, who has served as senior vice president and chief financial officer since 2023, will assume the role of senior vice president, treasurer, continuing as a key member of the finance leadership team.
Jackson will lead the company’s investor relations activities and will participate in the company’s third-quarter 2025 earnings call.
