Wolverine Worldwide, the Michigan-based footwear company, has named Taryn Miller as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Miller will report directly to Chris Hufnagel, the company’s president and CEO, and will commence her role on Thursday. Miller brings a wealth of financial expertise to Wolverine Worldwide, having previously served as the vice president of corporate and commercial finance at Corteva Agriscience, an international agriculture company. In this role, she oversaw various financial functions, including investor relations, treasury, and commercial finance.
Prior to her tenure at Corteva Agriscience, Miller held significant financial leadership positions at Kimberly-Clark Corporation and Kraft Heinz Company. At Kimberly-Clark Corporation, she served as the CFO of global business units, leading enterprise FP&A, and managing investor relations. Earlier in her career, she held key financial roles at Kraft Heinz Company, including CFO and vice president of finance at Kraft Heinz Canada Inc.
Expressing her enthusiasm for her new role, Miller stated: “I’m both honored and excited to be the company’s chief financial officer at such a critical chapter in its 141-year history. I look forward to working with our global teams to drive the continued transformation and ensure the company is well-positioned to capitalize on its biggest opportunities ahead.”
Hufnagel welcomed Miller to the executive team, expressing confidence in her abilities. “We are delighted to welcome Taryn to the team,” he said. “Her extensive financial experience and leadership style will be invaluable as we advance our ongoing strategic transformation.”
Miller succeeds Michael Stornant, who will retire after nearly three decades with the company. Stornant will continue to work closely with Miller during the transition period, ensuring a seamless handover.
