Natural Grocers announced Thursday the appointment of Richard Hallé to chief financial officer, effective Jan. 1, 2025.
In July, Todd Dissinger, who has served as the specialty grocer’s CFO since January 2018, announced his plans to retire at the end of this year.
As CFO, Hallé will oversee Natural Grocers’ financial operations, including accounting, treasury, and financial planning and analysis. His interim employment with the grocery company will begin Monday and he has resigned from Natural Grocers’ board of directors, audit committee and compensation committee, according to the press release.
Hallé has served on Natural Grocers’ board of directors for more than a decade, according to his LinkedIn profile. He most recently worked for Alvarez & Marsal as a managing director for nearly two years.
Hallé brings around 15 years of CFO experience to Natural Grocers, having previously been CFO for two separate companies — software development company Vival as well as IT services and IT consulting company DTN, per his LinkedIn page.
“Rich's deep, strategic knowledge of our company from his many years of service on the board and strong background as a seasoned finance executive make him the ideal fit as we continue to execute to our founding principles,” Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers’ chairman and co-president, said in a statement.
