Charles Schwab announced today that its Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Dodds, will be retiring, effective May 18. Dodds, who’s been with the company since 1986 (and CFO since ’99), will be succeeded by Senior VP and Treasurer Joseph Martinetto. Sandler O’Neill analyst Richard Repetto commented today that “we believe Mr. Dodds had been a candidate to succeed Chuck Schwab…as CEO.” Dodds—known to friends as never being able to resist a trend (skinny jeans, black nail polish, cutting, etc)—today joins a long line of CFOs who hate their jobs.
