Leaf Home Appoints Mike Barton Chief Accounting Officer

On March 26, 2026, Leaf Home — recognized as North America's top direct-to-consumer home improvement company — made a significant leadership announcement: Mike Barton has been appointed as Chief Accounting Officer (CAO). With his extensive expertise, Barton will take the reins in steering the company's controllership, accounting, treasury, and overseeing a financial systems transformation pivotal for future growth.

As Leaf Home continues to expand, integrating its recent merger with Erie Home, the appointment comes at a crucial moment. CEO Jenilee Common emphasized the importance of robust financial leadership in steering the company through its next growth phase: "Mike Barton's experience in public company reporting, transaction execution, and financial governance will build on our strong foundation and fortify the necessary financial discipline for this journey."

Before his new role, Barton served as the controller and chief accounting officer at Brook + Whittle, a private equity-backed enterprise in consumer packaging. His previous experience includes a key role at TravelCenters of America, a Fortune 500 company, where he managed SEC reporting and was instrumental during the company’s acquisition by BP in 2023. Furthermore, Barton has a decade-long tenure at Owens Corning, where he held important leadership positions, including assistant corporate controller.

"Leaf Home is well positioned for its next phase of growth," Barton stated. "Having spent much of my career in building materials, I'm thrilled to return to the home improvement space. My goal is to build on the existing momentum and support the company’s continued expansion."

This latest appointment reflects Leaf Home's commitment to enhancing its financial organization to accommodate its growing scale and complexity. It ensures a robust, audit-ready framework enabling senior leadership to concentrate on strategic growth initiatives rather than being bogged down by operational details.
