The Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. has named Randy Coleman as executive vice president and CFO. He replaces Larry Hilsheimer, who left the company effective immediately, and is pursuing other opportunities.
Scotts said the appointment of Coleman was not a reflection of any concerns related to the company’s financial controls or business performance. "Larry brought good insights to the organization and we appreciate his contributions," said CEO Jim Hagedorn. "But as we have refined our strategic plan over the past year, our needs have changed, which is why we recognized that Randy is a better fit for our new direction. We wish Larry continued success going forward."
Coleman, 45, joined Scotts in 1999. He was most recently senior vice president of operating finance as well as enterprise performance analytics. A graduate of The Ohio State University, he began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
