As I depart, I have full confidence that this team will continue to move the Company forward through the years ahead," said Mr. Witynski.
Of the transition Mr. Dreiling said, "We greatly appreciate Mike's contribution over his career with Dollar Tree, which included the acquisition and integration of Family Dollar, navigating COVID, and contributing to the company's current transformation strategy.
