Vestis Corporation (NYSE: VSTS) saw its stock surge 5.03% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, following news that the company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Kelly C. Janzen, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of IES Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: IESC).
The appointment, effective May 12, 2025, appears to have boosted investor confidence in Vestis Corporation. IES Holdings' Chairman and CEO, Jeff Gendell, praised Janzen's extensive background in finance and accounting, as well as her experience in public company leadership roles, stating that she will be "a valuable contributor" to their Board.
Janzen, who has been with Vestis Corporation since October 2024 and assumed the role of CFO in February 2025, brings over 30 years of experience in various financial leadership positions. Her appointment to the Board of another publicly traded company may be seen as recognition of her expertise and could potentially enhance Vestis Corporation's reputation in the financial community. This positive sentiment seems to be reflected in the pre-market stock movement, as investors react favorably to the news of their CFO's expanded influence in the industry.
