Marlborough, Massachusetts-based BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings has announced that Judy Werthauser has resigned from its board of directors to pursue a new opportunity.
Werthauser had served on the company’s board since November 2018 and was most recently chair of the compensation committee, as well as a member of the nominating and corporate governance committee. As part of Werthauser’s departure, the board intends for Chris Peterson to join the compensation committee and Ken Parent to be appointed as its chair.
“Since joining our board over four years ago, Judy has brought a deep knowledge of omnichannel retail and building strong team member cultures, which have been critical drivers of our growth,” said Chris Baldwin, chairman of the board.
“On behalf of our board and the BJ’s management team, we thank Judy for her leadership and guidance during her time with us. We wish her the best of luck in her future endeavor.”
The board intends to identify a new director in due course. The board regularly evaluates the composition of its directors, striving for a proper combination of skillsets and diversity of experience and thought to govern the company’s execution of its strategic priorities.
“I joined the BJ’s board shortly after its initial public offering in 2018 and it has been an honor to have played a part in the company’s transformational growth over the years,” Werthauser said.
“I’d like to thank my fellow directors for their partnership, and I am confident in the BJ’s leadership team and its ability to deliver continued success in the years to come.”
