Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) has announced the appointment of Trent
Kruse as senior vice president of investor relations and treasury
as the business continues to chart a course toward a thriving
future. Rite Aid has appointed a number of senior leaders in recent
months to align key personnel with the company’s RxEvolution
strategy, which puts the pharmacist at the center of a holistic
approach to healthcare and builds a dominant mid-market pharmacy
benefit management company.
In the newly created role, Kruse will lead the company’s
investor relations and treasury efforts, including strategic
engagement with the investor community and analysts around the
company’s revitalization efforts. He will also oversee the
enhancement of environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies
at Rite Aid.
“It is great to welcome Trent to Rite Aid’s senior leadership
team as we continue driving our strategy forward,” said Matthew
Schroeder, executive vice president and chief financial officer,
Rite Aid. “Trent’s excellent relationships with the finance and
investment communities, and in-depth experience managing investor
communications and capital markets activity, will play an essential
role in realizing Rite Aid’s vision for the future.”
“This is an exciting time to be joining the Rite Aid leadership
team,” Kruse said. “The RxEvolution transformation is well
underway, and I am eager to contribute to helping the team deliver
their vision.”
Kruse joins Rite Aid from Scientific Games, a leader in the
gaming and lottery industry, where he served as senior vice
president of investor relations. Before that, he spent nearly 15
years with JCPenney, and was promoted into several roles of
increasing responsibility across financial planning and analysis,
investor relations, communications and treasury. He ultimately
served as senior vice president of treasury, investor relations and
credit. Kruse holds a BS in economics from Texas A&M University
and an MS in finance from the University of Arizona.
