We look forward to applying Ken’s leadership and passion to additional areas of the business,” stated Steve Stagner, chief executive officer. “I am equally excited to leverage Rob Killgore’s vast industry experience, strategic thinking and analytical mind by expanding his role as sole chief operating officer. Since joining Mattress Firm in 2014 as part of the Sleep Train acquisition, Rob has played a key role in the acquisition integration and our overall operations.” Mr. Stagner continued, “I look forward to continuing to partner with Dale Carlsen on key strategic initiatives in his role as executive vice chairman. As the founder of Sleep Train and an industry pioneer, Dale is a trusted advisor and we will continue to benefit from his over thirty years of industry experience in key areas of our business.” Mr. Stagner concluded, “These management transitions represent a natural evolution as part of the plan we put in place at the time of the transformational acquisitions we completed last year, and are designed to position our organization for continued growth.”
