BOISE, Idaho — After 40 years of service, Albertsons Cos. president and chief operating officer Wayne Denningham is stepping down at the end of the fiscal year, the company announced earlier this month. The company also named Susan Morris as executive vice president and chief operations officer, overseeing the company’s supply chain, manufacturing and operations functions.

“Susan is a talented leader within our company, and she fully embraces our entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to running really good stores,” said chairman and chief executive officer Bob Miller.

Morris began her career in Albertsons’ Denver division while still in high school and worked her way up the ranks, proving her ability to lead, execute and cultivate great teams in one assignment after another, the company stated.

Her career has spanned roles from store director to corporate grocery sales director, vice president of bakery and operations and, upon the sale of Albertson’s Inc.’s assets to Supervalu, vice president of customer satisfaction.

In 2013, Morris was named Intermountain division president after a three-year stint in the company’s Southwest division, and subsequently was asked to lead the Denver division in 2015. Morris was named executive vice president for East operations in April 2016 and was moved to lead West region operations in March 2017.

Morris will continue to lead the Seattle, Portland, Northern California and Southern California divisions as part of her role.
