Traeger Announces Chief Financial Officer Transition

SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Traeger, Inc. (“Traeger”) (NYSE: COOK), creator and category leader of the wood pellet grill, today announced that Dominic Blosil, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, has decided to transition out of his role. Mr. Blosil will continue to serve as CFO through the filing of the Company’s first-quarter 10-Q and will provide transition support through the end of 2025. As part of a planned succession, Joey Hord, Traeger’s Senior Vice President of Finance and Strategy, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer and join the executive team.

“Dom has been an extraordinary partner since my first days at Traeger and a driving force behind the company’s transformation and growth over the last 11 years,” said Jeremy Andrus, CEO of Traeger. “His leadership extended across the organization and has been instrumental in shaping and executing our long-term vision. Dom played a pivotal role in leading the company through its IPO in 2021 and building the world-class team and infrastructure that position us for continued success. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Executive Leadership Team, I want to thank him for his leadership, strategic vision, and many contributions.”

Andrus continued, “Joey has been an important leader on our finance team since joining Traeger in 2021, playing an integral role in driving our strategic and financial planning capabilities. His deep expertise and leadership make him well-prepared for this role, and we expect a seamless transition.”

Mr. Blosil commented, “It has been a privilege to work alongside Jeremy and the incredible Traeger team over the past 11 years, and I am extremely proud of all that we have accomplished together. Traeger is a truly special brand—built on a disruptive product platform and a high-performing culture.”

He continued, “Joey has been a key partner of mine and is a highly capable successor who brings strong strategic and financial expertise to the CFO role. I have full confidence in his ability to step into this position and help lead Traeger into its next chapter.”

Prior to Traeger, Mr. Hord spent 16 years at Nike Inc. in various leadership roles, including Senior Director of Global Business Planning, CFO of Nike Southern Cone, and CFO of Nike Brazil. Mr. Hord holds a B.A. in Accounting and Finance from the University of Portland and has completed an Executive Leadership program at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.
