Jennifer Bohaty will join as chief compliance officer, Terence Goods will be chief diversity officer, Jennifer Silberman will be chief sustainability officer, and Kristin Tetreault will be chief communications officer. All four join Dollar Tree from other companies.

“As we continue to build our leadership team capability and focus intently on culture, compliance and [environmental, social and governance], I’m pleased to announce the additions of Jennifer Bohaty, Terence Goods, Jennifer Silberman and Kristin Tetreault to the Dollar Tree team,” Dollar Tree President and CEO Mike Witynski said in a statement. “These important additions demonstrate our company’s commitment to improving the experiences of our shoppers and building an engaging culture of belonging for our associates.”
