JELD-WEN CFO Stoddard to leave; she is set to join Standex as CFO

what happened

JELD-WEN Holding said on October 19, 2026 that Executive Vice President and CFO Samantha Stoddard is stepping down from November 13 to take a role outside the building products industry. From that date, Jeffrey Embt, the company's Chief Accounting Officer, will serve as interim CFO while keeping his current position. JELD-WEN plans to start a search for a permanent successor.

The same day, JELD-WEN reaffirmed the updated outlook for 2026 it first set on August 3, calling for sales of $3.1–3.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $120 million and $150 million. Separately, Standex International said Stoddard will join on December 1, 2026 as Vice President, CFO and Treasurer, reporting to Chairman, President and CEO David Dunbar. She replaces Ademir Sarcevic, who stays as CFO until her arrival and then focuses on the Electronics segment. Both announcements were published by TradingView.

why it matters

A CFO change is usually routine for the market, but investors in JELD-WEN watch management stability in the building products sector closely. The interim arrangement keeps finance in the hands of an experienced accountant, and the reaffirmed outlook signals that the company is not revising its expectations. For Standex, Stoddard's arrival strengthens the finance team as the company pushes growth in its Electronics segment.
