ATLANTA, June 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Aaron's Company, Inc. (NYSE:
AAN), a leading, technology-enabled, omnichannel provider of
lease-to-own and retail purchase solutions, today announced that
Douglas Lindsay, CEO, has been named
to Atlanta Business Chronicle's List of 2023 Most Admired
CEOs as the sole honoree in the "public company" category.
Through its annual Most Admired CEO Awards, Atlanta Business
Chronicle recognizes metro area leaders with a strong record of
innovation, outstanding financial performance, a commitment to
diversity, and significant contributions to Atlanta-area communities. Lindsay is among 39
business, civic, and community leaders selected by the
publication's editorial team this year for this distinguished
honor.
"As a native Atlantan, I grew up admiring our local leaders who
made this city a special place to live and work, which is why I'm
particularly humbled to receive this recognition," said Lindsay. "I
am fortunate to lead a great team at Aaron's, and I am excited
about where we're heading in the future. I am proud that each day,
we work to provide best-in-class service to our customers, and our
actions make a real difference in people's lives."
Lindsay's outstanding leadership in guiding Aaron's to success
over the last seven years (first as Company President, then as
Chief Executive Officer) has included many highlights –
transforming the Aaron's business to become the industry-leading
omnichannel provider of lease-to-own solutions, launching Aaron's
as a publicly-traded company following its separation from
Progressive Leasing, and guiding Aaron's successful acquisition and
integration of BrandsMart U.S.A.
