Kelly’s 15-year career at Family Dollar also included time as CFO. Howard Levine, the retailer’s chairman and CEO, said Kelly had had “a significant impact on almost every part of our business”.
Bloom joins Family Dollar from pharmaceutical company CVS Caremark, where he worked for 20 years.
Flur was appointed senior vice president for strategy and business development at Family Dollar in 2004. In 2008, she became executive vice president for strategy and marketing and a year later became chief merchandising officer. In addition to her new strategy and administrative roles, she will also become Family Dollar’s vice chair when Kelly leaves in six months.
Levine added: “We are pursuing an ambitious growth agenda to expand our market share and drive greater financial returns, and these leadership changes ensure that we have a strong management team in place to execute our plans.”
