Grocery Outlet names CFO

Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. has appointed Christopher Miller as executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective Jan. 6, 2025.

He will report directly to Eric Lindberg, Grocery Outlet’s board chairman, interim president and CEO, according to a news release.

Miller joins Grocery Outlet from Shamrock Foods Co., one of the largest family-held foodservice distributors in the western U.S., where he was CFO for nearly two years, the release said. Prior to that, he spent over 15 years at Core-Mark Holding Co., a marketer of fresh food and broad-line supply solutions to the convenience retail industry in North America, holding various financial and leadership roles, including executive vice president and CFO and vice president and chief accounting officer.

In addition, Miller’s background includes a variety of finance and accounting roles with retail and consumer products companies including Cost Plus World Market, Levi Strauss and Co. and Hermes.

“We are thrilled to welcome Chris Miller to the Grocery Outlet team,” Lindberg said in the release. “Chris is an accomplished CFO who brings a wealth of finance, accounting, business strategy and public company experience to the table that we are confident will benefit our independent operators, shareholders and our business as we continue to grow. We look forward to working with him to shape the future of Grocery Outlet.”

“Grocery Outlet is an exceptional company with a powerful business model and an incredible culture that I can’t wait to be part of,” Miller said. “I’m excited to get to work as we chart an exciting next chapter for the company.”

Lindsay Gray will continue in the role of senior vice president for accounting, which she held prior to being named interim CFO in March, according to the release.

“We would like to thank Lindsay for stepping up and leading as interim CFO during a pivotal year for the business, and we are fortunate to have her continued leadership over our accounting and reporting function moving forward,” Lindberg said.
