Casey’s General Stores Welcomes Finance Leader Stanley J. Sutula III to Its Board of Directors

Stanley J. Sutula III joins Casey’s Board with an impressive background that spans over 35 years in corporate finance, financial planning, operations, tax, strategic planning, and risk management. Since 2020, Sutula has been serving as the Chief Financial Officer at Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE: CL), where he led global finance, IT, and mergers and acquisitions teams. His prior experience includes a significant tenure at Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), where he held the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as well as 28 years at IBM Corporation (NYSE: IBM), where he ascended through various financial management roles, culminating as Vice President and Controller.

Darren Rebelez, Chair of the Board, President, and CEO of Casey’s, expressed enthusiasm regarding Sutula's appointment, emphasizing the value of his financial and strategic expertise. "We are excited to welcome Stan to the Board as he adds deep financial and strategic expertise to our already expansive board capabilities. His leadership in these areas will benefit Casey’s, the Board, and its shareholders immensely," Rebelez stated.

Sutula’s extensive experience is expected to enhance Casey’s strategic direction, particularly as the company navigates the competitive landscape of convenience retail and food service.

With the addition of Sutula, Casey’s Board will temporarily expand from eleven to twelve directors. This transition comes as current director Cara Heiden has announced her retirement, effective September 2, 2026. Rebelez paid tribute to Heiden's nearly decade-long service, saying, "On behalf of the Board and the entire Casey’s team, I want to extend a sincere thank you to Cara for nearly a decade of distinguished service and leadership on the Board and its Audit Committee. She helped build Casey’s into the great organization it is today, and we wish her nothing but the best in her retirement from the Board in September."

Sutula's strong academic credentials complement his professional achievements. He holds a degree in Finance & Management from Northeastern University and an MBA in Finance from Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business. His educational background, combined with his extensive experience, positions him well to contribute to the strategic financial initiatives at Casey’s.
