DALLAS -- At Home announced that, Judd Nystrom is appointed chief executive officer effective November 1, 2026. In his role, Nystrom will also serve on the company's Board of Directors. Prior to assuming the CEO role, Nystrom served as independent director and the chair of the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the company's Board of Directors since December 2025.

Previously, from 2013 to 2018, Nystrom served as At Home's Chief Financial Officer, playing an instrumental role in the company's Initial Public Offering in 2016. Nystrom brings more than 30 years of leadership experience and deep knowledge of the retail and home décor industry. Most recently, Nystrom served as Chief Financial Officer of Caliber from July 2019 through February 2026.

Nystrom's appointment follows the July 2 retirement of former CEO Brad Weston, following which the company's board led a full CEO search, identifying Nystrom as the right leader for At Home's continued transformation.

"Judd combines deep familiarity with At Home, strong financial discipline and a commitment to developing people," said John Eck, Executive Chairman of At Home. "He understands the work underway and the opportunity ahead. We are confident he is the right leader to partner with the At Home team to drive brand growth across stores and digital, modernize our supply chain, and deliver a more inspiring, differentiated and rewarding customer experience."

Aaron Rose, promoted to President and Chief Commercial Officer in May 2026, will continue to lead the Company's commercial transformation, overseeing Merchandising, Marketing, Ecommerce, Planning, Supply Chain, Stores, Design & Concept and Visual Merchandising. Under his leadership, At Home has accelerated its assortment reinvention, redefined its brand positioning, and launched its new loyalty program, Design Rewards. Early indicators are encouraging, product categories furthest in their transformation are driving meaningful growth and recent brand tracking shows gains in awareness and in perception. Rose will partner with Nystrom and the executive leadership team to execute the company's strategy and create long-term value.

"Aaron is an exceptional leader and a critical partner," Nystrom said. "He brings strong commercial leadership and a deep commitment to our customers. I look forward to working alongside Aaron and our leadership team to build on the Company's progress and drive long-term shareholder value."

"At Home is a company I know well and care deeply about," Nystrom continued. "I have seen firsthand the strength of this brand and the passion of its people. It is an honor to return as CEO, and help more customers discover our inspiring products, compelling value and a more personal, rewarding shopping experience."

At Caliber, Nystrom partnered with the management team to nearly double revenue over five years while significantly expanding EBITDA margins. Earlier in his career, he held senior financial roles at Advance Auto Parts, Best Buy and Carlson Companies. He also served on the Melissa & Doug Board of Directors and as Audit Committee Chair from 2019 through 2024.

Nystrom earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management and currently serves on the school's Board of Overseers.
