Bobby Aflatooni becomes Chief Information Officer at Dollar Tree
Dollar Tree has appointed Bobby Aflatooni as Chief Information Officer.
He replaces Andy Paisley, who departed Dollar Tree alongside three other C-suite executives, following an activist investor led revamp of the retailer’s board.
“Bobby is a proven leader with a strong track record of delivering results and leading multiple system transformations,” says Mike Witynski, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“The technology investments we will make over the next several years will be critical to our success as we enable our people, simplify work streams and accelerate our growth.”
Aflatooni most recently served as Executive Vice President, Chief Information Officer at The Howard Hughes Corporation, responsible for leading all information technology strategies and operations across the company’s portfolio.
Prior to that, he held leadership positions at another large value retailer, Dollar General, as Vice President of IT Operations, Architecture, Merchandising from March 2011 until April 2018, and as Senior Director IT Infrastructure and Architecture from January 2009 to March 2011.
His career includes development and oversight of IT priorities for Yum! Brands, CapitalOne Auto Finance, LayerOne, Silverleaf Resorts and CapitalOne Services.
Aflatooni says: “I am thrilled to be joining the Dollar Tree organisation.”
“Our team will be driven to focus on systems infrastructure enhancements to support the company’s growth by providing better support to store associates, merchandising and marketing teams, and our supply chain to deliver improved shopper experience.”
“Having worked with, and supported, a number of leaders at Dollar Tree in previous roles will enable us to hit the ground running.”
Witynski adds: “This is the first of a number of executive additions related to our recently announced leadership changes, as we scale our leadership team to accelerate the growth and transformation of our company.”
