Dollar Tree has substantially expanded the role of the company’s COO, Mike Creedon, in the latest leadership change at the company.
With the change in the executive suite, Dollar Tree chief merchandising officer Rick McNeely, Family Dollar chief merchandising officer Larry Gatta and chief supply chain officer Mike Kindy will report to Creedon.
Prior to joining Dollar Tree in 2022, Creedon held leadership roles at Advance Auto Parts for almost nine years, finally as executive vp and president of U.S. Stores. In addition, he has held executive positions with Tyco International and ADT Security.
“We are fortunate to have an incredibly talented and dedicated leadership team at Dollar Tree and Family Dollar,” said chairman and CEO Rick Dreiling in announcing the Creedon appointment. “ As we’ve worked together over the last year to build our transformation strategy, Mike has served as a key leader driving our operational path forward. In this expanded role, Mike will have full end-to-end accountability for delivering a best-in-class store experience for our customers. As I shared with our associates, while Mike and I will continue to work closely together, I am committed to leading this company, and I remain fully engaged in all areas of the business.”
Lead independent director Edward Kelly said, “The organization is at an important inflection point as it executes its transformation plan. With Mike in this expanded role, working closely with Rick at the helm, we bring together key elements of that strategy that will have a significant positive impact on the company.”
