Donald Carroll, who became CEO at Heelys in May 2008, has retired.

Michael Hessong has been named interim president and chief executive officer until the board designates a full-time replacement. Mr Hessong formerly served as the company's chief financial officer for many years until leaving in May 2008.

Gary Martin, chairman of the board, said that Mr Hessong "was one of Heelys' initial employees and was a key contributor to the company's growth from its infancy”. He adds that, during his time with the company, Mr Hessong “consistently demonstrated considerable senior leadership and managerial responsibilities”.
