Shake Shack CFO Katherine Fogerty to Depart Effective June 13
Shake Shack Inc. disclosed the departure of Chief Financial Officer Katherine Fogerty in an 8-K filing. The change triggers a required transition plan and subsequent SEC disclosures on leadership and any separation arrangements.
benzinga.comNEW YORK, May 7, 2026 — Shake Shack Inc. reported that Chief Financial Officer Katherine Fogerty will depart the company effective June 13, 2026.
The departure affects the single holder of the chief financial officer position at the burger chain, which operates more than 500 company-owned and licensed Shacks globally and reported $1.2 billion in revenue for fiscal 2025. No successor has been named in the filing.
The company stated that Fogerty's employment will end on June 13. Prior to that date she holds the role of principal financial and accounting officer. The filing does not cite a cause for the departure. Item 5.02 of Form 8-K requires disclosure of officer departures and the company will file any material separation agreement as an exhibit to a subsequent report if one is executed.
Downstream requirements include identification of an interim or permanent principal financial officer by the effective date to maintain Exchange Act reporting compliance. The company must also update its executive-compensation disclosure in its next proxy statement or Form 10-K to reflect the change.
Regulation FD Item 7.01 in the same filing confirms no additional material nonpublic information was disclosed beyond the officer transition itself.
This marks the first executive-officer departure disclosed by Shake Shack since its 2015 initial public offering. The Form 8-K was filed with the SEC on May 7, 2026 under accession number 0001104659-26-056664 and includes exhibits required by Item 9.01.
