Dollar General Corp. has promoted Steve Deckard as EVP of strategy and development and Tracey Herrmann as EVP of store operations.
Both of the roles were effective Feb. 1.
Deckard’s new position will focus on the expansion of Dollar General’s national footprint, corporate wide process improvement and leadership of its strategic initiatives.
In his most recent position, Deckard, who began his career in 2006 as Dollar General’s regional director of stores, oversaw DG’s operations team including Dollar General retail stores, Mi Súper Dollar General in Mexico, corporate store operations, asset protection and real estate. Prior to that role, he led the company’s international expansion into Mexico and several strategic initiatives including pOpshelf as Dollar General’s EVP of growth and emerging markets. Additionally, Deckard has held roles of increasing responsibility across various DG departments.
“During Steve’s more than 19 years at Dollar General, his experience has spanned store operations, asset protection, real estate and financial planning, as well as growth and emerging markets,” said Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos.
“As he played a critical role in the strategic expansion into Mexico as our first international market, I am confident his extensive knowledge of our business and its operations make him uniquely qualified for this new role as executive vice president of strategy and development.”
