Legacy
Deppe leads financial operations and reporting. Deppe has overseen Chewy's continued push toward profitability following its 2019 IPO, managing the balance between customer-acquisition spending and the company's expansion into higher-margin categories like pet pharmacy and veterinary services. Deppe has managed Chewy's transition toward generating positive free cash flow after years of prioritizing growth-driven customer acquisition spending, a shift common among e-commerce companies as public-market investors rotated their preference from pure revenue growth toward demonstrated profitability following the 2022 tech-valuation correction. Deppe joined Chewy in 2022 as vice president of supply-chain and operations finance before becoming CFO effective February 24, 2026, bringing more than 16 years of finance leadership experience from Amazon's global transportation and fulfillment operations, and holds engineering and finance degrees from Colorado State University and Indiana University.
