BlueLinx Holdings Inc., a U.S. wholesale distributor of building products, announced the appointment of Christopher Kelly Wall as senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, effective May 19, 2025. Wall will lead all aspects of BlueLinx’s financial strategy, capital markets activity, investor relations, and financial operations.

A finance executive with 30 years of experience, BlueLinx says Wall brings a proven track record of optimizing capital structures, executing strategic transactions, and leading high-performing finance teams in both public and private company environments.

Wall is based in Atlanta and will report to Shyam K. Reddy, president and chief executive officer of BlueLinx.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kelly to the BlueLinx leadership team,” said Shyam Reddy. “Kelly’s depth of experience across capital markets, M&A, and operational finance makes him an ideal fit for BlueLinx. His strategic mindset, investor expertise, and personal ties to the construction industry bring a unique perspective as we continue to execute our profitable sales growth strategy and build long-term value for our shareholders.”

Wall most recently served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of The Aaron’s Company, Inc., where he led the company through initiatives including a public company spin-off, the acquisition and integration of BrandsMart USA, and Aaron Company’s take-private transaction in 2024. Throughout his tenure, he oversaw a 100-person finance organization responsible for audit, FP&A, investor relations, treasury, and controllership.

Prior to Aaron’s, Wall held senior financial leadership roles at CNG Holdings and TMX Finance, following a 17-year career at Bank of America Merrill Lynch where he rose to managing director and led more than 200 capital markets and leveraged finance transactions.

“I’m honored to join BlueLinx at such an exciting time in its journey,” said Wall. “BlueLinx has strong momentum, a talented team, and significant opportunities to grow shareholder value through disciplined financial management and strategic investment. I look forward to working with Shyam and the entire leadership team to help shape BlueLinx’s next chapter.”
