MINNEAPOLIS, MN - From Safeway, to Target, and now a new senior role at SuperValu, Anne Dament has been making quite the stir in the retail industry over the past year or so. Dament, who began her retail career with SuperValu, will be assuming the role of Senior Vice President of Retail, Merchandising, and Marketing for the Minneapolis-based retailer, leading the company's retail banner operations and overseeing retail merchandising and marketing functions.

“Returning to SuperValu provides a great opportunity to collaborate with grocery veterans I’ve respected throughout my career,” shared Dament, who will now report to SuperValu President and CEO, Mark Gross. “Together, I’m looking forward to bringing a renewed energy to our retail banners.”

Dament has spent her 25-year retail career in several food focused roles, most recently as Senior Vice President of Merchandising for Target Corporation where she oversaw food merchandising for its grocery business, including perishables, non-perishables, foodservice, and private label brands. At Target, Dament was tasked with revamping the company’s grocery sector and make it more competitive with other food retailers.

"I’m thrilled that Anne is joining our leadership team,” said Gross. “As we focus on improving our retail store performance, Anne's experience across varied retail and merchandising disciplines should prove extremely beneficial. Anne is a dynamic, collaborative leader with great experience building and leading high performing teams through transformation and change.”

Prior to joining Target, Dament held an array of positions with Safeway in her decade-long stint with the company. These roles included Vice President, Business Unit General Manager, Homecare and General Merchandise; Group Vice President, Safeway.com; and Group Vice President, Perishable Strategy.
