Prior to joining A&P, Hertz was executive vice president of retail stores for OfficeMax. Previous to that, he served as senior vice president of store operations.

“An important part of our turnaround is building a dynamic executive management team with the skills and expertise necessary to lead our company to excellence. With his high-level skillset and vast experience, Paul not only believes excellence can be achieved, but he is also able to illuminate the path to it,” said Christian Haub, executive chairman of A&P.

A&P last month named its second chief executive in six months after appointing former OfficeMax executive Sam Martin to replace Ron Marshall.
