US department store chain Nordstrom has announced the appointment of Kelly Dilts as its new chief financial officer (CFO), effective from 29 August 2025, transitioning from her current roles at Dollar General, where she has served as executive vice-president and CFO since 2023.

The appointment follows the company’s disclosure in March that Cathy Smith will be stepping down as CFO.

Dilts will be responsible for overseeing all core financial functions, as well as the company’s real estate, store development and strategic sourcing.

Nordstrom co-CEO Erik Nordstrom stated: “After a thorough search, we’re excited to welcome Kelly to the Nordstrom team.

“She brings three decades of financial leadership experience and a proven track record of driving strong results at large-scale omnichannel retailers. We’re confident she’ll help us strengthen our business, execute on our priorities and continue delivering for our customers.”

Before her tenure at Dollar General, Dilts was executive vice-president and CFO at Francesca’s Holding from 2016 to 2019.

She also served as senior vice-president of finance and investor relations for Tailored Brands, previously known as The Men’s Wearhouse.

Dilts stated: “Nordstrom is a company with a strong legacy, a clear sense of purpose and a deep commitment to its customers, employees and brand partners. I look forward to working alongside the leadership team to build on that foundation — focusing on financial discipline, operational excellence and sustainable long-term growth.”

In May 2025, shareholders of Nordstrom approved its previously announced merger with Norse Holdings and its subsidiary Navy Acquisition.

Nordstrom’s total revenue, which includes retail sales and credit card income, saw 2.2% growth in the full year 2024.
