Chesapeake, Va. — Dollar Tree, Inc. has made several updates to its executive leadership team. Steve Schumacher has been promoted to executive vice president and chief people officer; Jocelyn Konrad has been named chief of Dollar Tree Stores and enterprise store operations; and Jason Nordin has been named president of Family Dollar Stores.

Schumacher’s promotion is effective immediately. He has served as interim chief people officer for the past 6 months and will continue to lead all human resources (HR) functions for the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar banners.

He joined Dollar Tree in 2018 and has nearly 20 years of HR experience. Prior to his role as interim chief people officer, Schumacher served as senior vice president of human resources, where he led HR for the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar banners, inclusive of corporate functions, field, supply chain, HR compliance, labor relations and people solutions.

“Steve has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to fostering a workplace where our associates feel valued and empowered,” says Mike Creedon, interim CEO, Dollar Tree Inc. “Steve’s leadership, deep expertise and ability to align our people strategy to the ever-changing needs of our business have been instrumental in driving us forward. I am pleased to officially name Steve as our executive vice president and chief people officer, and I’m confident that his people-first approach will continue to strengthen our organization and support our more than 200,000 associates in reaching their full potential.”

Earlier in his career, Schumacher spent 14 years at Sears Holdings in HR roles of increasing responsibility; he began his management career with the global hospitality brand Marriott International where he held various leadership positions.

Konrad has been appointed chief of Dollar Tree Stores and enterprise store operations, with oversight of all Dollar Tree stores and enterprise store operations services. Nordin has been named president of Family Dollar Stores to play a key leadership role in the banner’s formal review of strategic alternatives. Both Konrad and Nordin joined the organization in September 2023.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have two exceptional leaders in Jocy and Jason, who bring unparalleled expertise and commitment to the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar banners,” says Creedon. “In just over a year, Jocy has unlocked substantial value for the Family Dollar business, delivering on financial commitments, elevating the brand and exceeding operational expectations for the banner. Jocy is a dynamic, results-focused leader and I couldn’t be more pleased to expand her scope of responsibility to lead our growing Dollar Tree brand, guide the rollout of our multi-price expansion and oversee enterprise store operations.”

Konrad has more than 30 years of operational experience and prior to leading Family Dollar, she served as executive vice president and chief pharmacy officer at Rite Aid Corporation. Konrad held multiple leadership roles at Rite Aid and earlier in her career held senior management positions at Eckerd Pharmacy and Thrift Drug.

Nordin has more than 20 years of business development and operational experience, and prior to joining Dollar Tree, he was chief operating officer of Pilot Company where he led the company’s 650+ travel centers and quick-serve restaurants across the U.S. and Canada.

“Jason has consistently demonstrated that he is an effective and forward-thinking leader,” says Creedon. “In his time overseeing the Dollar Tree banner, Jason has shown a deep commitment to both people and performance, which has not only strengthened our store operations, but has also fostered a culture rooted in our core values. Jason’s operational expertise, business agility and financial acumen will be instrumental in guiding the next chapter for Family Dollar.”
