He will report to Dorlisa Flur, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer.


“Our focus on the customer has never been stronger or more important,” said Flur. “We’ve invested significantly to know our customer and understand how to better serve her. Don brings extensive experience in communicating to a broad and diverse retail customer base. Through his leadership we’ll enhance communications to our customers and reinforce our position of value and convenience through our portfolio of private label brands and an improved in-store shopping experience.”
