Vestis said its vice president and chief accounting officer, John Laveck, plans to leave the company on Dec. 11 to pursue an opportunity outside the industry. The departure is a management change, not a change in the company’s business or ownership.
- Laveck notified Vestis of his resignation on Nov. 4. He also serves as the company’s principal accounting officer.
- Vestis has begun searching for a successor.
- After Laveck leaves, Chief Financial Officer Russell T. Tiejema will take on the principal accounting officer responsibilities until a replacement is appointed.
- Tiejema will receive no additional compensation for assuming those duties.
- Vestis said Laveck’s departure does not stem from a disagreement with the company or its board over its operations, policies or practices.
The immediate accounting oversight transition will be handled by Vestis’s existing CFO while the company searches for a permanent successor.
