Robert Miller is a director at Harrah’s Entertainment and a Nordstrom board member. He served as chairman and CEO of Fred Meyer between 1991 and 1999, when he took a job as the CEO of Rite Aid, where he served until 2003. Miller will continue to hold the chairman of the board position at Rite Aid, Cerberus said.
“I am excited that I will be back in the grocery business, in areas I am familiar with from my past,” Miller said in a statement. “Our goal will be to build a successful operation by focusing on what is important to our customers in each market.”
