Dollar Tree Names New CFO

Dollar Tree has named a new chief financial officer as Steward Glendinning will join the retailer on March 30. He succeeds Jeff Davis, who previously announced plans to step down. 

Glendinning joined Dollar Tree earlier this year in a senior role focused on enterprise-wide transformation initiatives, including key areas within the company’s finance organization and the review of strategic alternatives for the Family Dollar business.

“We are pleased to announce that Stewart will become our next CFO,” said Mike Creedon, CEO of Dollar Tree, Inc. “Stewart is a proven leader with a strong track record of driving financial excellence. In his short time with us, he’s contributed significantly to the review of strategic alternatives for our Family Dollar business, where we continue to make good progress.”

Before joining Dollar Tree, Glendinning was CEO of Express, Inc. He previously held global CFO roles at Tyson Foods and Molson Coors Brewing Company, and he also served as president and CEO of several operating segments at both of those Fortune 500 companies. 

“I’m honored to step into the CFO role at Dollar Tree at such a pivotal time,” said Glendinning. “What attracted me to Dollar Tree is its amazing culture, the passion of its people, and a very meaningful opportunity to drive a huge amount of value for the business.”
