ATLANTA, GA – Bill Green, Kroger’s Director of Regional Operations for the Atlanta Division, will be promoted to the company’s Vice President of Operations for the Columbus Division at the end of this month.

“I am thrilled to be promoted to Vice President of Operations,” Green said in a press release, adding, “My enthusiasm for our customers and associates will be carried over into the Columbus Division, and I cannot wait to begin working with an incredible team.”

Bringing 16 years of experience into this newest position, Green began his career with the retailer in 2000 when he joined the law department in Cincinnati as an attorney.

Three years later, Green relocated to Atlanta to complete Kroger’s management trainee program. He was promoted to his current role of Director of Regional Operations in July 2015.

“Bill brings leadership, people skills, a great knowledge of the business and an engaging community spirit to his new role,” said Bruce Lucia, President of Kroger’s Atlanta Division. “Bill has contributed greatly to the success of our Division, and his broad range of experience across different departments makes him an ideal candidate for this leadership role.”

Kroger said Green’s passion for the community is exemplified by his involvement and support for several community organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America and the Junior Achievement Association.

Green’s promotion goes into effect later this week, April 24th.
