Shoe Carnival, Inc. announced on Monday the appointment of Kerry Jackson to the role of senior vice president, new business development, a newly created role at the American footwear retailer.
Jackson will commence his role on June 9, working from the South Carolina-bases company’s Fort Mill headquarters.
He will report to president and chief executive officer, Mark Worden, and lead the company’s merger and acquisition activities, and integration of acquired businesses, as the firm looks to become “the nation’s leading family footwear retailer,” according to a press release.
Jackson returns to Shoe Carnival after retiring from the company in 2023. He spent 35 years at Shoe Carnival during his career, including 27 years serving as chief financial officer.
“Kerry’s return is a tremendous asset for our growth strategy,” said Worden.
“His deep institutional knowledge, combined with his proven financial acumen and strategic insight, makes him uniquely qualified to partner with me in driving our M&A initiatives. Kerry’s passion for building business ultimately brought him back to us, and we’re fortunate to have his continued leadership as we expand our national footprint.”
The new appointment looks to support Shoe Carnival’s recent expansion strategy. In February last year, the company acquired Rogan Shoes, a heritage work and family footwear company with 28 store locations in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois, for a purchase price of $45 million.
