Former Express CEO named Dollar Tree CFO
Dollar Tree has named its next finance chief.
The discount chain has tapped Stewart Glendinning to become the company’s next CFO, effective March 30, 2025. Glendinning will succeed Jeff Davis, who announced plans to step down in December. Davis, who has served as CFO since October 2022, will remain with the company for a short period to support a smooth transition.
Glendinning joined Dollar Tree as chief transformation officer in January in a role focused on “enterprise-wide transformation initiatives,” including key areas within the company’s finance organization and the review of strategic alternatives for the Family Dollar business.
Prior to joining Dollar Tree, Glendinning served as CEO of apparel retailer Express for more than a year. He previously held global CFO roles at Tyson Foods and Molson Coors Brewing Company, and he also served as president and CEO of a number of operating segments at both companies.
“We are pleased to announce that Stewart will become our next CFO,” said Mike Creedon, CEO of Dollar Tree, Inc. “Stewart is a proven leader with a strong track record of driving financial excellence. In his short time with us, he’s contributed significantly to the review of strategic alternatives for our Family Dollar business, where we continue to make good progress. I look forward to working closely with Stewart as we seek to accelerate growth at Dollar Tree in 2025.”
