Somnigroup International Welcomes Christopher Cook

On September 30, 2025, Somnigroup International Inc. (NYSE: SGI) announced the appointment of Christopher Cook as an independent director to its Board of Directors. This strategic move comes as the company seeks to enhance its governance and breadth of expertise within the highly competitive bedding industry. Following Mr. Cook's appointment, Somnigroup has expanded its Board size from seven to eight members, signaling a commitment to oversight and diverse representation.

Christopher Cook is no stranger to the retail sector, boasting over two decades of executive leadership experience.

His extensive background makes him an invaluable addition to the team.

Scott Thompson, the Chairman and CEO of Somnigroup, expressed enthusiasm about Cook's appointment, stating, "We are delighted to welcome Christopher Cook to our Board of Directors.
