At Home’s Former CFO Returns as Chief Executive Officer

by Katie Lee

Dallas — At Home has appointed Judd Nystrom as its new chief executive officer. He will also serve on the company’s board of directors. Previously, Nystrom was an independent director and the chair of the board’s audit and risk management committee since December 2025. Additionally, from 2013 to 2018, Nystrom was chief financial officer for At Home, playing an instrumental role in the company’s IPO in 2016.

Most recently, Nystrom was chief financial officer of Caliber from July 2019 through February 2026. At Caliber, Nystrom partnered with the management team to nearly double revenue over 5 years while significantly expanding EBITDA margins. Earlier in his career, he held senior financial roles at Advance Auto Parts, Best Buy and Carlson Companies.

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,” says 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, e-commerce, planning, supply chain, stores, design & concept and visual merchandising. Rose will partner with Nystrom and the executive leadership team.

At Home is a leading décor and furnishings retailer founded in 1979 and headquartered in Dallas. At Home operates 227 stores across 39 states.
