Fleet Feet Appoints New Chief Financial Officer
Fleet Feet, the largest franchisor of run specialty stores, announced the appointment of Amy Diebler as Chief Financial Officer.
Amy Diebler joins Fleet Feet’s Store Support Team as chief financial officer. In her role, Diebler will oversee all finance functions and strategic planning across Fleet Feet’s franchise, corporate and e-commerce businesses. Prior to joining Fleet Feet, Diebler was the CFO of Verdesian Life Sciences where she played a key role in business optimization and implementation of new business processes. Prior to Verdesian, Diebler served in various senior finance leadership roles at Chiesi USA, Inc. with oversight over functions including supply chain, procurement, IT, investor relations and contracting. She also spent 10 years as an advisor with Ernst & Young. Diebler will report to Fleet Feet President and CEO Joey Pointer.
