CHESAPEAKE, VA. — Stewart Glendinning, former chief financial officer at Tyson Foods Inc., was appointed CFO of Dollar Tree Inc., effective March 30.

Glendinning was a member of the Tyson Foods team from 2017 to 2023. He first joined the company as CFO. In 2022, John R. Tyson took over that role, and Glendinning became group president of Prepared Foods. He served in that capacity for a year before leaving the company to pursue another opportunity.

Following his tenure at Tyson, Glendinning was appointed chief executive officer and board member of Express Inc.

Earlier this year, Glendinning joined Dollar Tree in a senior role focused on enterprise-wide transformation. This included key areas within the company’s finance organization and the review of strategic alternatives for the Family Dollar business.

Glendinning succeeds Jeff Davis as CFO of Dollar Tree. Davis will remain with the company for a short period to ensure a smooth transition.

“We are pleased to announce that Stewart will become our next CFO,” said Mike Creedon, Dollar Tree CEO. “Stewart is a proven leader with a strong track record of driving financial excellence. In his short time with us, he’s contributed significantly to the review of strategic alternatives for our Family Dollar business, where we continue to make good progress. I look forward to working closely with Stewart as we seek to accelerate growth at Dollar Tree in 2025.”

Prior to his time at both Dollar Tree and Tyson Foods, Glendinning served as CFO for Molson Coors Brewing Co. He also served as president and CEO of a number of operating segments under Fortune 500 companies.

Glendinning holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the College of William and Mary and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Miami Law School.

“I’m honored to step into the CFO role at Dollar Tree at such a pivotal time,” Glendinning said. “What attracted me to Dollar Tree is its amazing culture, the passion of its people and a very meaningful opportunity to drive a huge amount of value for the business. I look forward to working with the leadership team and our talented finance organization to drive continued growth and financial strength.”
