5.11 Tactical is promoting Vice President of Finance Bryan Jones to chief financial officer on Oct. 7 as the company’s current CFO Jim McGinty will start phasing into retirement.
McGinty has led the finance team at 5.11 since 2018 and has held other financial roles at retailers such as Hot Topic, SPY and Victoria’s Secret throughout his 40-year career.
“During his tenure, Jim developed the financial discipline to make us more profitable,” Chief Executive Troy Brown said in a statement. “Under his leadership, 5.11 has grown significantly, adding stores to over 120 domestic locations.”
The Costa Mesa-based retailer of tactical gear and apparel said McGinty will transition from the CFO role in October into a consultatory role through 2025 with plans to exit fully in the beginning of 2026.
Jones first joined 5.11 in 2015 as assistant controller and previously worked in finance positions at Biosense Webster under Johnson & Johnson, Volcom and Deloitte as well.
“Bryan has proven to be an essential part of our management team, positively impacting our financial and strategic execution,” Brown said.
5.11 recorded $533 million in sales in 2023 and is aiming to more than triple its store count from 123 to 400 in the next few years.
