Irving, Texas -- Michaels Arts and Crafts said Friday it will be seeking a new top executive to replace CEO John Menzer, who has resigned to recover from a stroke.
After Menzer suffered a stroke in April, Michaels created an office of the CEO comprised of Lew Klessel, interim COO and a managing director of Bain Capital, and Chuck Sonsteby, Michael’s chief administrative officer and CFO. The pair will continue to lead the company until Menzer’s successor is hired.
