The Kroger Co., announced that Tim Massa, executive vice president and chief associate experience officer, will retire on September 18, 2026.
Massa came to the company in 2010 following a 21-year career at The Procter & Gamble Company. He joined the company as vice president of Talent Development, and in the next 16 years rose through a series of senior leadership roles, including group vice president of Human Resources and Labor Relations, chief people officer, senior vice president and executive vice president and chief associate experience officer.
As its most senior human resources executive, Massa led the company's strategy across talent, leadership development, labour relations, total rewards, associate well-being and culture. He is widely credited with building one of the most respected people organisations in retail and shaping its ‘business-led, people-enabled’ approach to talent management.
Greg Foran, CEO of Kroger, said, "Tim has been a relatable and trusted leader throughout his time at Kroger. He cares deeply about our associates and built a people organisation that supports and respects them. We appreciate Tim's many contributions over the years and wish him all the best in his retirement."
Ron Sargent, chairman of Kroger's board, said, "Tim Massa is the kind of leader every company hopes to have, and every board is fortunate to work with. For 16 years, Tim has been a champion for Kroger's associates and a trusted partner to our Board of Directors. He built a world-class people organisation, navigated the company through some of its most defining moments and quietly shaped a generation of leaders who will carry Kroger forward for years to come. His legacy is more than the strategies he created; it's the people he developed and the culture he shaped. On behalf of the entire Board, we thank Tim for his exceptional service and wish him every success in his next chapter."
