Ken Gosney, the CEO of Goodwill Industries of Sacramento Valley and Northern Nevada, has resigned as the nonprofit begins to “restructure” its executive team, the interim CEO stated this week.
Gosney formally stepped down from the Sacramento region’s Goodwill branch in December. He served as the nonprofit’s CEO since January 2022, and was previously the CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Columbia in Washington state for seven years.
Bryan Wagner, who served as chief financial officer before replacing Gosney as CEO on a temporary basis, said he could not share specifics about the resignation.
“As part of our efforts to strengthen the organization and ensure long-term success, we’ve made some changes to the executive team,” Wagner said in a statement. “Regarding plans to replace these positions and the permanent CEO role, there is a strategy in place, and I’ll be able to share more details later this month.”
Upon Wagner’s transition into the interim CEO role, Goodwill Sacramento Valley and Northern Nevada got rid of two other positions — local chief operating officer and vice president of retail, according to the Sacramento Business Journal , which on Thursday first reported Gosney’s resignation.
