Kelly C. Janzen served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Vestis Corporation, a leading provider of uniforms, workplace supplies, and related services, from the company's inception in October 2022 until her departure in 2024. In this pivotal role, she spearheaded the financial strategy during Vestis's spin-off from Aramark, overseeing the successful initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange in October 2023, which raised approximately $1.5 billion and established Vestis as an independent public company. Janzen managed all aspects of corporate finance, including financial planning and analysis, investor relations, treasury, tax, and risk management, guiding the organization through its transition while delivering robust financial results amid a dynamic market environment. With over 25 years of experience in finance and accounting, Janzen's career prior to Vestis was deeply rooted at Aramark, where she progressed through senior leadership roles, most notably as Senior Vice President of Finance for the Uniform & Career Apparel Group. There, she drove financial operations for a multibillion-dollar segment, optimizing capital structure, enhancing profitability, and supporting strategic acquisitions. A Certified Public Accountant, Janzen holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and her expertise has been recognized through board appointments and industry accolades for financial leadership. Janzen's tenure at Vestis was marked by key achievements, including strengthening the balance sheet, implementing cost efficiencies that improved EBITDA margins, and fostering strong relationships with investors and stakeholders. Her strategic foresight positioned Vestis for long-term growth, navigating challenges such as supply chain disruptions and economic volatility, and leaving a lasting legacy of financial discipline and operational excellence.
