At Home, the Dallas-based home décor retail chain, is undergoing a pivotal CEO succession as Brad Weston prepares to retire at the end of June. After four years leading the business through significant financial challenges, Weston hands over the reins at a company that has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and repositioned itself for long-term growth.
Brad Weston Steps Down After Four-Year Tenure
Brad Weston joined At Home with a mandate to stabilize and transform the brand. Over four years, he guided the company through one of its most challenging periods — including a full bankruptcy restructuring that eliminated nearly all of its $2 billion in funded debt.
Board chairman John Eck praised Weston's leadership, noting that the company "strengthened its foundation, established a clear strategic direction, and positioned the business for long-term growth." The Board of Directors has already initiated a formal search for Weston's replacement.
Aaron Rose Named President and Chief Commercial Officer
As part of the leadership transition, At Home elevated Aaron Rose to president and chief commercial officer. Rose joined the company as CCO in January 2025 and quickly took on an expanded leadership mandate during the CEO transition period.
Rose brings a retail résumé spanning two decades. He spent nearly four years at Banana Republic, including two as chief commerce and experience officer. Prior senior roles include positions at ABC Carpet & Home, J.Crew, West Elm, Pier 1, and Crate & Barrel, with his career beginning in 2005 as a Target buyer.
Rose outlined the company's strategic focus: "By taking decisive action to drive relevance and inspiration, we are anchoring our strategy in differentiated product, compelling value, and an enhanced experience." His appointment positions At Home to maintain momentum through the leadership change.
Post-Bankruptcy Recovery and Retail Outlook
At Home emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy last October, eliminating nearly all of its $2 billion in funded debt. The company completed restructuring with $500 million in new exit financing and is now privately held by a consortium of its former lenders.
Current ownership includes funds affiliated with Redwood Capital Management, Farallon Capital Management, and Anchorage Capital Advisors. After closing 31 locations during restructuring, At Home now operates 229 stores across 39 states — a leaner, more focused retail footprint.
