The country’s largest discount department store chain has a new boss.
James Conroy, 54, will join the retailer known for its Dress-for-Less slogan next month, in a move that will see him leapfrogging a well-established internal executive team at Ross to start Dec. 2, 2024. He’ll replace current CEO Barbara Rentler, who has been in the role since 2014, after having joined the company in 1986. Ross told investors Conroy will report to Executive Chairman Michael Balmuth, who previously served as CEO for 16 years before passing the torch to Rentler.
