Best Buy Co., Inc. announced that its Board of Directors has selected Jason Bonfig, the company?s Chief Customer, Product and Fulfillment Officer, to succeed Corie Barry. Barry will step down from her role as member of the Board at the end of third quarter on October 31 of this year. Bonfig will also join the Board at that time.

Barry and Bonfig will continue to work closely over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition. Barry will also remain as a strategic advisor for six months after she steps down as CEO. Bonfig currently oversees the core elements of Best Buy?s business, including merchandising, ecommerce, marketing, supply chain, Best Buy Canada and Best Buy Ads, the company?s retail media network.

Most recently, he led the creation of the company?s online Marketplace in the U.S. and the scaling of its Best Buy Ads business, key components of Best Buy?s growth strategy. Bonfig?s significant influence within the consumer electronics industry, paired with his deep knowledge and understanding of Best Buy?s customers, seamlessly align with the company?s strategy. Since joining the company as an inventory analyst in 1999, he has developed invaluable relationships with the world?s most prominent technology companies, and over the years has greatly influenced the products and features that customers love and rely on today.

Barry, the second-longest tenured CEO in Best Buy?s history, skillfully guided the company through many external challenges by managing the business with unmatched expertise, creating excellent customer experiences, and building a culture of belonging with record-high engagement scores among Best Buy?s more than 80,000 employees.
