Former Home Depot exec named CFO at Hancock Fabrics

Rebecca Flick has joined Hancock Fabrics, a struggling operator of 260 stores, as CFO after spending 14 years early in her finance career with the Home Depot.

Flick was named CFO effective Jan. 4, to fill a position that had been held on an interim basis since August 2015 by O. Pierce Crockett, Hankcock’s divisional VP and controller. Crockett stepped in to lead the finance group after James Brown resigned as CFO after holding the post for less than two years.

“We are very excited to welcome Rebecca to our company. She brings a wealth of experience and we look forward to working with her as the leader of our finance team and as a key member of our senior management,” said Steve Morgan, Hancock’s president and CEO.

Flick currently serves as the chairman of the finance committee of the Marcus Autism Center Board of Trustees and is a director of the National Monuments Foundation Board and a member of the University of Tennessee Finance Department Advisory Board. From 2013 to September 2014, she served as global VP of finance and treasurer with Recall Corporation and from 2012 to 2013, she served as enterprise VP of finance and treasurer at ServiceMaster Global Holdings. From 2011 to 2012, Flick served as CFO at SecurAmerica, but prior to that she spent 14 years with Home Depot.
