As interim CFO, the executive will take on the new role in addition to his current duties while the company continues to conduct a comprehensive search to identify a permanent successor, according to a SEC filing.

Prior to his current and expanded role at Foot Locker, Higginbotham has served as vice president, investor relations from January 2022 through November 2022.

Before joining Foot Locker, Higginbotham spent nearly twenty years on Wall Street as an equity research analyst and portfolio manager.

He is a chartered financial analyst charter holder.
