“Ken has been an integral part of the Five Below ( FIVE ) team for nearly two decades, including leading the Company for 11 years as CFO and most recently as COO, with significant experience and deep knowledge of our business. He has played a pivotal role in architecting our strategic growth plans and leading key supporting initiatives.”
