Fortune Brands Innovations has announced the appointment of Peter G. Clifford as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The appointment, approved by the company's Board of Directors, will take effect on September 21, 2026. Clifford steps into the role at a time when the company continues to focus on its portfolio of home, security, and digital products.

Clifford brings a substantial background in corporate finance and operational leadership. His previous experience includes senior positions at several large public companies, where he managed financial strategy, investor relations, and capital allocation. He is expected to oversee Fortune Brands' global finance organization and play a key role in shaping the company's long-term growth plans.

The outgoing CFO is leaving to pursue other opportunities, and the transition has been planned to ensure continuity. Fortune Brands leadership expressed confidence in Clifford's ability to drive value and maintain the company's financial discipline. The move comes as the firm looks to strengthen its market position across its various business segments, including plumbing and security brands.

Clifford will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and join the company's senior leadership team. He is also expected to work closely with the board on financial planning and merger and acquisition activity. The company has not indicated any further changes to its executive structure at this time.
