Under his leadership, At Home has accelerated its assortment reinvention, redefined its brand positioning, and launched its new loyalty program, Design Rewards. Early indicators are encouraging, product categories furthest in their transformation are driving meaningful growth and recent brand tracking shows gains in awareness and in perception. Rose will partner with Nystrom and the executive leadership team to execute the Company's strategy and create long-term value.

"Aaron is an exceptional leader and a critical partner," Nystrom said. "He brings strong commercial leadership and a deep commitment to our customers. I look forward to working alongside Aaron and our leadership team to build on the Company's progress and drive long-term shareholder value."
