H&R Block named Richard Johnson as its new chairman of the board, replacing longtime Chairman Robert Gerard, who served in the role since 2011.
The tax preparation company on Wednesday said the appointment of Johnson comes as the firm transitions to its next five-year strategy for growth and transformation.
"We are well-positioned for the future and the next chapter of our growth strategy as we look to fiscal year 2026 and beyond," Chief Executive Jeff Jones said.
Johnson joined the H&R Block board of directors in 2015 and is a member of the audit and compensation committees.
