CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Alisa Dart joined Dollar Tree Inc. last spring as senior vice president of asset protection and safety, a role that gives her oversight of two business groups: asset protection and environmental health and safety.

Dart sees her mission as leading the evolution of both groups by fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement.

“I am committed to leveraging cutting-edge strategies, embracing emerging technologies and nurturing a dynamic environment that encourages creativity and adaptability,” she says. “Through strategic initiatives and a collaborative approach, my aim is to propel our business group to new heights of success, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed our goals.”

Prior to joining Dollar Tree, Dart spent more than a quarter-century in retail operations as a leader in asset protection, business continuity, store operations and safety, with stints at Albertson’s, Nordstrom, Macy’s and Target.

At Albertsons Cos., she was instrumental in leading the development and implementation of a workplace violence prevention program to over 2,200 stores. She also led the supermarket chain’s initiative to build asset protection technology and product protection solutions that reduced shrink-related losses.
