The BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings board of directors named president & CEO Bob Eddy as chairman of the board effective June 15.
Eddy will succeed Chris Baldwin, who will remain on the company’s board as a director, according to a Thursday press release from the company.
“We have observed Bob’s clear passion for the company in the boardroom as well as through the successful execution of our long-term vision,” Robert Steele, the board’s lead independent director, said in the press release. “We believe that Bob’s role as chairman and chief executive officer will further strengthen the collaborative relationship between management and the board, balanced with appropriate oversight embodied in our independent directors and in my role as lead independent director.
Eddy was named president and CEO of BJ’s in 2021 after the unexpected and tragic death of former president & CEO Lee Delaney.
BJ’s is headquartered in Marlborough and brought in more than $19 billion in revenue in the most recent fiscal year ending Jan. 31.
