Lowe’s Cos. Chief Executive Officer Marvin Ellison is continuing to reshape management at the home-improvement retailer, with the hiring of a former Walmart Inc. executive to oversee a critical area of his plans to bolster the company.
Donald Frieson has been named executive vice president of supply chain, effective Aug. 8, Lowe’s said Tuesday. In this role, he’ll be responsible for distribution centers, sourcing and delivery services. He’s filling a similar position to Brent Kirby, who left the company as its chief supply chain officer earlier this year.
