Dollar Tree makes more leadership changes
Dollar Tree Inc. has made three executive appointments — including one to oversee the potential spin-off or sale of its Family Dollar division.
The changes, which come on the heels of the departure of CEO Rick Dreiling for health reasons, include appointing Jason Nordin as president of Family Dollar Stores, where he will play a key role in the banner’s formal review of strategic alternatives, the company said. Earlier this year, Dollar Tree said it was reviewing strategic alternatives for Family Dollar, including a potential sale or spin-off of the business.
Nordin joined the company in October 2023 as chief of stores for Dollar Tree. Prior to that, he served as COO of Pilot Company.
“In his time overseeing the Dollar Tree banner, Jason has shown a deep commitment to both people and performance, which has not only strengthened our store operations, but has also fostered a culture rooted in our core values,” said Mike Creedon, interim CEO, Dollar Tree. “Jason’s operational expertise, business agility, and financial acumen will be instrumental in guiding the next chapter for Family Dollar.”
In other appointments, Steve Schumacher was promoted to executive VP and chief people officer, effective immediately. Schumacher, who has served as interim chief people officer for the past six months, will continue to lead all human resources functions for the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar banners. He joined Dollar Tree in 2018.
Also, Jocelyn “Jocy” Konrad has been appointed chief of Dollar Tree Stores and enterprise store operations, with oversight of all Dollar Tree stores and enterprise store operations services. Konrad joined the company in September as chief of stores for Family Dollar. Previously, she served as executive VP and chief pharmacy officer at Rite Aid Corporation.
Dollar Tree operated more than 16,300 stores across 48 states and five Canadian provinces as of Aug. 3, 2024. Its stores operate under the brands of Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree Canada.
