Kroger has appointed former Walmart executive Greg Foran as its new CEO, 11 months after the previous CEO’s resignation. Foran, known for his tech-savvy and detail-oriented leadership, previously led Walmart’s U.S. division and Air New Zealand, focusing on improving operations and digital capabilities. His appointment comes as Kroger faces competitive pressure from Walmart, discount chains, and online retailers, and has recently struggled with its e-commerce strategy and a failed merger attempt with Albertsons.
