Rite Aid (Camp Hill, Pa.) has named Christine Rose as its Senior VP and Chief Information Officer. The company also named Jeanniey Walden as its Senior VP and Chief Marketing Officer, Retail Dive reports.

Rose has worked for Rite Aid for roughly three years and originally joined as the company’s Senior VP for Enterprise Technology Solutions.

Walden was most recently the Chief Innovation and Marketing Officer at DailyPay, a role in which she worked closely with brands like Dollar Tree, Kroger and Target.

Rite Aid Interim CEO Busy Burr says, “As an accomplished marketer with a customer-centric approach, Jeanniey will lead the charge to strengthen and enhance the ways we conveniently meet our customers’ changing needs, helping us further our mission to provide whole health for life.”

Rite Aid terminated Justin Mennen as its Executive VP and Chief Digital and Technology Officer July 28, according to a securities filing. Several other recent leadership changes have taken place at Rite Aid, including the departure of CEO Heyward Donigan this past January.
