The Home Depot names new CIO
The Home Depot has promoted a company veteran to its C-suite.
The world’s largest home improvement chain has named Angie Brown executive VP and chief information officer. She replaces Fahim Siddiqui, who is leaving the Home Depot. He spent more than six and a half years with the company and served as CIO since April 2022.
In her new role, Brown will be responsible for all aspects of The Home Depot's technology strategy, infrastructure, cybersecurity and software development for its retail stores, supply chain facilities, store support centers and online systems.
A 27-year veteran of The Home Depot, Brown has held roles of increasing responsibility across virtually every aspect of the company's technology operations. For the past three years, she has served as senior VP of information technology, where she was responsible for delivering technology solutions for the company's merchandising, customer experience, online, customer, marketing, reliability engineering, pro and supply chain functions. Past roles include VP of technology and senior director of IT.
Under Brown's leadership, The Home Depot says it has delivered “transformative” digital capabilities that enhance the customer and associate experience, including advancements in personalization, supply chain visibility and merchandising analytics.
"Angie is an exceptional leader whose customer-first mindset consistently drives meaningful innovation across our business," said Ted Decker, chair, president and CEO of The Home Depot. "Her strategic vision and deep expertise have been instrumental in transforming The Home Depot's interconnected experience, making home improvement more modern, more seamless and more convenient for our customers."

Decker added that the departing Siddiqui was "instrumental in improving our infrastructure across our stores, supply chain facilities and support centers."

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025, The Home Depot operated a total of 2,350 retail stores and over 790 branches across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico. The company employs over 470,000 associates.
