Daniel J. Sullivan serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Five Below, Inc., a leading value retailer specializing in trendy, high-quality products for teens and preteens, where he has been instrumental in driving the company's financial strategy since joining in September 2019. With over 25 years of experience in finance and operations within the retail sector, Sullivan brings a proven track record of scaling businesses and optimizing capital structures. Prior to Five Below, he held the position of Executive Vice President and CFO at Party City Holdco Inc. from 2015 to 2019, where he oversaw financial operations during a period of significant growth, including international expansion and debt refinancing initiatives that strengthened the company's balance sheet. Before Party City, Sullivan was Senior Vice President and CFO at Duane Reade, Inc., a subsidiary of Walgreens Boots Alliance, from 2007 to 2015, managing all financial aspects including treasury, tax, and investor relations amid the company's acquisition by Walgreens. His earlier career included key finance leadership roles at Cendant Corporation, such as CFO of its hospitality division and various controller positions, contributing to multiple successful spin-offs and IPOs. Sullivan's achievements include guiding companies through complex mergers, acquisitions, and public offerings, consistently delivering strong financial performance and shareholder value. At Five Below, Sullivan leads the finance organization, encompassing accounting, financial planning and analysis, treasury, tax, and investor relations, playing a pivotal role in the company's aggressive store expansion—growing from approximately 800 stores in 2019 to over 1,500 today—and supporting initiatives like the $1.6 billion acquisition of Galt Toys in 2023. His strategic oversight has helped Five Below navigate economic challenges, maintain robust cash flow, and execute share repurchase programs, positioning the retailer for sustained long-term growth in the competitive discount retail landscape.
