"It is with mixed emotions that we announce Debbie Lansford’s retirement," said Mike Davis, President and CEO of CORT. "Over the past two decades, Debbie has played a pivotal role in shaping CORT into the strong and resilient company it is today. Her un
wavering commitment to our employees, customers, and mission has been a cornerstone of our success, through both prosperous and challenging times. Debbie leaves behind a legacy of trust, integrity, and leadership that will continue to guide us into the future."
Since joining CORT more than 20 years ago, Lansford has exemplified the company’s core values, bringing not only her financial expertise but also a sense of humor and unwavering conviction to her role. Her leadership has been instrumental in navigating the company through periods of significant growth and transformation.
As CORT bids farewell to Lansford, the company welcomes Sean Reddan as the new CFO. Reddan joined CORT in October 2023 as Senior Vice President of Finance, bringing more than 20 years of experience in finance leadership roles across the media, financial services, and telecommunications industries.
“Sean’s extensive financial expertise and passion for building high-performing teams make him the ideal candidate to step into this role,” said Lansford. “I am confident that Sean’s leadership will drive CORT to new levels of success.”
Reddan, who resides in Arlington, Virginia, with his wife Michele and their two children, is actively involved in his local community. On weekends, he can often be found coaching youth sports or cheering on his children at soccer and lacrosse games. In his new role as CFO, Reddan will oversee key functions including corporate accounting, financial planning and analysis, enterprise risk management, and IT.
“I am honored to take on this new role and build on the strong foundation that Debbie has established,” said Reddan. “CORT is the market leader with such a strong culture. I look forward to working with the talented team as we continue to drive financial excellence, operational efficiency and innovation while delivering exceptional value to our customers.”
CORT expresses its deepest gratitude to Debbie Lansford for her decades of service and leadership and extends congratulations to Sean Reddan on his well-deserved promotion.
