SiteOne Landscape Supply announces CFO succession plan for 2026

ROSWELL, Ga. - SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (NYSE:SITE), a company with a market capitalization of $6.4 billion and annual revenue of $4.6 billion, announced Wednesday that Chief Financial Officer John Guthrie will retire at the end of 2025 after serving in the role since before the company’s 2016 IPO.

Eric Elema, currently Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller, will succeed Guthrie as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective January 1, 2026. Following the transition, Guthrie will remain with the company as a senior advisor to CEO Doug Black.

"John has played a pivotal role in the growth of SiteOne since its IPO in 2016, guiding the business through over a decade of exceptional performance," said Black in the press release.

Elema joined SiteOne in 2016 and has overseen the company’s accounting, finance, shared services and treasury functions.
