Home Depot CEO Ted Decker is taking a temporary medical leave of absence, with two senior executives overseeing company operations in his place. Multiple outlets report that Decker is expected to return within a few months.
Home Depot’s leadership structure during the leave is the focus across coverage. Quartz and Retail Dive say Senior Executive Vice President Ann-Marie Campbell and Chief Financial Officer Richard McPhail will step in to manage CEO responsibilities while Decker recovers. CNBC and the Globe and Mail similarly describe a short-term transition, without detailing the medical reason. The outlets align on the timeframe for Decker’s return, described as occurring within the next few months, and on the interim executives who will lead day-to-day oversight.
