Best Buy announced on Wednesday that it is promoting a longtime executive to chief executive as the consumer electronics retailer navigates shifting demand and intensifying competition across the retail sector.<\/p>\n

The company said that Jason Bonfig \u2014 currently its chief customer, product and fulfillment officer \u2014 will become CEO on Oct. 31, succeeding Corie Barry, who plans to step down after seven years in the role. Bonfig will become just the sixth CEO in Best Buy\u2019s roughly 60-year history.<\/p>\n

The leadership transition comes as Best Buy and its peers face pressure from e-commerce competitors, changing consumer spending patterns and the need to expand beyond traditional hardware sales into higher-margin businesses.<\/p>\n

He has also helped drive initiatives aimed at boosting profitability, including the expansion of Best Buy Ads, the company\u2019s retail media network, and the launch of an online marketplace in the U.S., both viewed as core to its long-term growth strategy.<\/p>\n

“As a Board, we are confident that Jason is the right leader to accelerate the business, with urgency and innovative ideas, and create meaningful growth for the company and its shareholders,” Best Buy board Chair David Kenny said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
