The former executive parts ways with Tiffany to join Newell Brands as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective June 8, 2016. With this appointment, current Newell Brands CFO John Stipancich will leave the company to pursue other interests. Nicoletti joins the company after the recent combination of Newell Rubbermaid and Jarden Corporation, which closed on April 15, 2016 and formed a new $16 billion consumer goods powerhouse.
