Ross Stores’ board of directors has initiated a leadership succession plan through an agreement with Vice Chair and CEO Barbara Rentler that will extend through March 31, 2027.
Rentler noted, “Serving as CEO and leading the incredibly talented and committed teams we have throughout the business has been, and continues to be, a great privilege. I look forward to our continued success.”
George Orban, Ross chairman, said, “Barbara Rentler is an outstanding executive and gifted merchant who has made significant contributions to our company’s growth and success since joining Ross in 1986. As CEO, she has provided the vision and leadership to navigate the company successfully through both favorable and more challenging external landscapes with a focus on maximizing our opportunities for growth and profitability. This long-term succession plan will enable us to continue to benefit from Barbara’s more than three decades of leadership at Ross, while supporting a smooth transition to a new CEO.”
