MINNEAPOLIS — Wendy Schoppert, who has been Select Comfort's senior vice president and chief information officer, will become chief financial officer of the airbed manufacturer and retailer, effective June 6.

She succeeds Jim Raabe, who is resigning to accept the role of CFO at Lindsay Corp., a provider of irrigation systems and infrastructure products based in Omaha, Neb. Schoppert will continue to report to Bill McLaughlin, president and CEO.

Schoppert joined Select Comfort in 2005 and has worked in a variety of senior leadership positions. As CIO since 2008, she is credited with contributing to the company's turnaround by leading the restructuring of the IT function. Earlier, she led the company's international business and managed new channel development and strategy.

"Wendy has a deep understanding of the company, which, combined with her strong financial background, will serve Select Comfort well," McLaughlin said.

He added, "I would like to sincerely thank Jim for his significant contributions to Select Comfort during his 13-year tenure with the company. In addition to his strong overall leadership of the finance function, Jim was an integral partner in helping us achieve the solid financial position that we enjoy today."
