Rite Aid has added someone with more than 20 years of tech leadership experience to its executive team. The Camp Hill, Pa.-based retailer announced Tuesday that Justin Mennen had been named to senior vice president and chief information officer, overseeing all aspects of its technology and information operations, including enterprise systems and applications, network, core infrastructure, and information security.
Mennen also will oversee development and execution of Rite Aid’s near- and long-term information technology strategy. He will report to Darren Karst, the company’s senior executive vice president, CFO and chief administrative officer.
