Giordano joined Kroger’s King Soopers banner in 1972 while still in college. She was appointed as store manager at King Soopers in 1982 and later held various director-level positions in areas including advertising, bakery, general merchandise, grocery and pharmacy. In 1999, Giordano became vice president of sales and marketing of King Soopers.
“Donna is an engaging and strategic leader who has earned the respect of our associates,” said Kroger president and COO Rodney McMullen. “Donna’s extensive experience and focus on connecting with customers has contributed to the success of QFC.
