ScottsMiracle-Gro CFO Resigns

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company announces that Dave Evans has resigned as chief financial officer and executive vice president and has accepted a similar role with Columbus-based Battelle, the world's largest nonprofit research and development organization.

 

Evans joined ScottsMiracle-Gro as director of finance for operations in 1993 and moved through several roles before being named CFO in 2006. In 2011 his role was expanded to include strategic planning and business development. Evans will remain at the company through the filing of its first quarter results in mid-February and is actively working with Hagedorn and the Board of Directors on creating an orderly transition. The company has begun identifying and interviewing internal and external candidates for the role.
