Bed Bath & Beyond CFO Gustavo Arnal reportedly jumped to his death Friday from his 18th-floor apartment in Tribeca, New York City, according to the New York Post.
Arnal, 52, the chief financial officer and an executive vice president for the home goods company, leaped from the “Jenga Building” in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood, according to the New York Post.
He had only worked for the organization for around two years, but made more than $2.9 million from the company in 2021 via salary and stock awards, the outlet noted.
He was previously the CFO at Avon, a London-based cosmetics corporation, the NY Post continued. When he joined Bed Bath & Beyond, a corporate spokesperson noted that his world-class talent could offer new expertise, perspectives and experience, according to CNBC.
