KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally responsible cleaning chemistries, is pleased to announce the promotion of Rhett Emerson to Chief Financial Officer and Vice President. This leadership appointment reflects Emerson’s significant contributions to KYZEN’s financial strategy, global operations, and people-centered culture since joining the company in 2012.
Rhett began his KYZEN journey as the European Operations Assistant Controller, where he quickly became instrumental in developing the financial and information systems that power the company’s international footprint. Over the years, he has helped streamline operations, enable global growth, and build frameworks that simplify complexity—while staying grounded in KYZEN’s unique values and collaborative culture.
“Rhett has a rare combination of financial acumen and heart,” said Kyle Doyel, CEO and Co-Founder of KYZEN. “His ability to lead with both precision and humility makes him the kind of leader people trust and want to follow. We’re excited for what this next chapter holds with Rhett as CFO and VP.”
Rhett holds a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems Management from Lipscomb University and passed the CPA exam shortly after graduation. Prior to his finance career, he spent a decade in church ministry, an experience that shaped his belief in excellence, service, and the power of authentic relationships. That background continues to influence his leadership style—grounded, purposeful, and committed to supporting the greater good.
In his new role, Rhett will lead KYZEN’s global financial operations and continue to enhance the systems, structure, and strategy that support the company’s mission and long-term vision.
