Walker, President, Garden Consumer Products, who will retire from that role effective September 26, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mr. Barnes has served as Executive Vice President, Garden Consumer Products since October 2025 and brings more than two decades of experience in the lawn and garden industry. He began his career with Pennington Seed in 2002 and joined Central Garden &amp; Pet in 2006. Since joining Central, he has held a series of leadership roles of increasing responsibility across sales, business development, and general management, most recently serving as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Bell Nursery, DoMyOwn\u2122, and Central\u2019s Vendor Partner business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we planned for this transition, we were focused on identifying a leader who combines a deep understanding of our business and customers with a strong track record of execution and a commitment to Central\u2019s entrepreneurial culture,\u201d said Niko Lahanas, Chief Executive Officer of Central Garden &amp; Pet. \u201cJason brings all of those qualities. He knows our garden business, has earned the trust of our customers and our teams, and has consistently demonstrated his ability to deliver results and develop talent. I have tremendous confidence in Jason\u2019s leadership and believe he is the right person to build on our momentum, accelerate growth and innovation, and lead our branded garden business into its next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Walker has been a key leader at Central since joining the company in 2011, playing an instrumental role in shaping and growing the Company\u2019s Garden segment. Under his leadership, the business delivered significant sales growth and improved profitability, while strengthening Central\u2019s portfolio of leading brands and deepening relationships with key retail partners. He also played an important role in expanding the garden portfolio through strategic acquisitions, including Arden\u00ae, Bell Nursery, Hopewell Nursery, Green Garden\u2122 Products and DoMyOwn\u2122. Throughout his tenure, Mr. Walker has been widely respected for his customer-focused leadership, commitment to the business, and ability to build strong, high-performing teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJ.D.\u2019s contributions to Central over the past 15 years have been significant, and he leaves our Garden business in a much stronger position than when he took the helm,\u201d Lahanas added. \u201cHe has helped grow and strengthen our portfolio, built enduring relationships with our customers, developed an outstanding leadership team, and driven meaningful improvements across the business. His leadership of our Cost and Simplicity efforts has also created a stronger foundation for the next phase of growth. I\u2019m grateful for J.D.\u2019s leadership, partnership and commitment to Central, and I appreciate his continued support as we complete this transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeading Central\u2019s garden business has been an honor and a privilege,\u201d said Mr. Walker. \u201cI\u2019m proud of what this team has accomplished together, and I leave knowing it\u2019s in great hands. I\u2019m grateful to Central, and I look forward to staying connected to this business as it continues to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank J.D. for his leadership and his contributions to Central and our garden business. I\u2019m humbled by the opportunity to follow in his footsteps and excited to build on the strong foundation he helped create,\u201d said Mr. Barnes. \u201cWe have an exceptional team, a great portfolio of brands, and meaningful opportunities ahead. I look forward to keeping that momentum, accelerating innovation, driving growth, and continuing to deliver for our customers and consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Barnes holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Tennessee and an MBA from Emory University.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Central Garden &amp; Pet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Central Garden &amp; Pet Company (NASDAQ: CENT) (NASDAQ: CENTA) is a leading consumer goods company in the pet and garden industries.
