Best Buy Announces Chief Financial Officer Transition

Matt Bilunas to step down on July 31 after 20 years with the company, including seven as CFO

Company is conducting an external search for a successor to partner with incoming CEO Jason Bonfig

Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY) today announced that Matt Bilunas will step down as Chief Financial Officer and depart the company at the end of July.

Best Buy has engaged an external search firm for its next chief financial officer and expects to name a successor with previous CFO experience. Current CEO Corie Barry, who previously served as CFO, will provide financial oversight during the transition if needed.

"I am truly honored to have been part of this great company and grateful to those who have made a lasting impact on my life and career. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, and even more proud of the people and teams I have had the privilege to work alongside," said Bilunas. "Best Buy is well positioned for the future, and I have tremendous confidence in Jason and the next generation of leaders who will continue to build on the momentum we’ve created."

Bilunas served as CFO for the last seven years, working hand in hand with Barry and Bonfig to navigate a range of challenging environments to help generate the momentum driving Best Buy and its business today.

"We wouldn't be where we are today, or have such confidence in the future ahead of us, without Matt," said Bonfig. "He helped build Best Buy in invaluable ways, and I'm genuinely grateful for everything he has contributed and everything I've learned from him over the years."

"The past seven years have been exciting, challenging, unpredictable and meaningful, and I truly believe we wouldn't have navigated them as well as we did if it weren't for Matt," said Barry. "His impact on this company will last for years to come; not only because of his financial leadership, but because of the way he has developed talent and helped shape our strategy. His impact on me personally will last a lifetime."

Bilunas joined Best Buy in July 2006 as a Territory Finance Director. During his tenure, he held numerous finance roles across the company, including Senior Vice President of Enterprise Finance, before assuming the CFO role in 2019. Most recently, Bilunas was responsible for finance, enterprise strategy, procurement, financial services, real estate and omnichannel operations.

Bonfig will become the company’s sixth CEO when he officially takes over the role on November 1, 2026. He recently unveiled the four priorities Best Buy will focus on to grow the business: Advancing Best Buy as a Retail, Media and Advertising, and Technology company; Expanding and growing our reach; Elevating the Best Buy experience; and being a human-powered, customer-focused company.
