Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HYFM) announced on October 3, 2025 that Chris Yetter has been appointed to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee, effective October 1, 2025. The announcement also confirmed that Susan P. Peters will retire from the Board, effective the same date, after five years of service. Both changes were made to strengthen the Company’s governance structure and to bring new expertise to the Board.
Chris Yetter is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Dumont Global, a private investment partnership affiliated with Dumont Master Fund LP, a long‑standing shareholder of Hydrofarm. He also serves as a director of Minneapolis Cider Co. (d.b.a. Trail Magic) and has a portfolio focused on health and wellness, including significant holdings in the U.S. regulated cannabis industry. His investment background and industry experience are expected to provide strategic insight into Hydrofarm’s core markets.
The addition of Yetter and the retirement of Peters represent a notable shift in board composition, potentially influencing future strategic decisions and capital allocation. Investors will view the appointment as an opportunity for fresh perspectives on growth initiatives, especially in the cannabis and controlled‑environment agriculture sectors. The board change is a material corporate event that warrants coverage for stakeholders monitoring Hydrofarm’s governance and strategic direction.
