Under Armour has outlined its next finance leadership transition, naming Reza Taleghani as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer beginning February 2026. He will follow David Bergman, who has served as CFO for more than two decades and will remain with the company through the first quarter of fiscal 2027 to support the handoff.
The move gives Under Armour more than a year of continuity as it prepares for a change at the top of its financial organization. Taleghani joins with extensive global responsibilities already under his belt, most recently as CFO of Samsonite Group, where he oversaw finance, accounting, investor relations, treasury, internal audit, and M&A activity across a multinational portfolio.
His appointment brings a track record of operational restructuring and cross-border financial management to Under Armour at a time when the company is positioning itself for its next strategic phase. Taleghani previously held senior roles at Brightstar Corp., J.P. Morgan, and Sterling Airlines, giving him experience across consumer goods, financial services, and transportation.
He will work alongside CEO Kevin Plank and the leadership team to steer capital planning, margin improvement efforts, and long-term financial priorities once he formally steps into the role. Bergman’s extended presence through fiscal 2027 provides the company with a structured and deliberate transition period as Taleghani assumes responsibility for the finance function.
