The Home Depot has named Edward “Ted” Decker president and CEO and has elected him to the company’s board of directors, all effective March 1.
Decker joined The Home Depot in 2000 and became president and COO in October 2020. At that time, he took on responsibility for global store operations, global supply chain, outside sales and service, real estate, merchandising, marketing and online strategy.
“As a 22-year associate of The Home Depot, Ted has nurtured our culture by living our values and demonstrating servant leadership throughout his career,” said Menear. “Ted has grown with the company by taking on expanded roles of leadership from his time in strategic business development, finance and merchandising to leading our day-to-day interconnected operations in his role as president and COO. His ability to blend the art and science of retail is exactly what is needed in the next phase of growth for The Home Depot. I have tremendous confidence that he will guide our company to new heights.”
