The $43 billion supermarket retailer Kroger just crowned its new CEO: longtime retail executive Greg Foran. This is the third time that Foran will be steering a billion-dollar company—and it all started with stocking grocery store shelves.
Born and raised in New Zealand, he launched his career working at the country’s popular supermarket chain, Woolworths. The then teenager already had a part-time job there filling the supermarket shelves on Friday nights when he graduated high school. But Foran said he wasn’t too keen on attending college, and his parents actually agreed with his stance, believing he wasn’t ready yet.
