Former Walgreens executive Roxanne Weng takes on Chief Supply Chain Officer role at Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree reports that Chief Supply Chain Officer Mike Kindy is retiring, and that Roxanne Weng has been appointed in his place.

Kindy joined the company in May 2023.

“Mike has been a driving force in retail supply chain for more than 35 years, and we’ve been fortunate to benefit from his deep expertise and steady leadership,” says Mike Creedon, Chief Executive Officer at Dollar Tree.

“From overseeing complex distribution networks to modernising our supply chain strategy, his contributions have been instrumental in positioning our company for long-term success. We are grateful for Mike’s service and wish him all the best in his upcoming retirement.”

Weng has more than 30 years of retail operational leadership experience with the majority of her career at Walgreens. During her tenure there, she held roles of increasing responsibility in both store operations and supply chain and worked as a pharmacist. In her role as Chief Supply Chain Officer, she led distribution, transportation, inventory management, and master data management.

“I am delighted to welcome Roxanne to the executive leadership team,” says Creedon. “With three decades of distinguished leadership across supply chain strategy, logistics optimisation, and distribution network management, her proven expertise aligns perfectly with the Dollar Tree growth trajectory.”

Weng most recently worked at Uline, a specialist in packaging and shopping supplies, where she oversaw the company's creative operations.

“I am honoured to join the incredible team at Dollar Tree,” says Weng. “I look forward to driving industry leading initiatives to ensure our supply chain network operates at the highest standards so our stores remain consistently and reliably stocked to delight our customers every day.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Supply chain technology will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
