Sarah Mensah, NIKE Inc.'s current President of the Jordan Brand, offers a lot of expertise in brand elevation and innovation.

Lisa was appointed by Cerberus Capital Management affiliates to replace Mr. Scott Wille.
The appointments are in line with Albertsons' 2024 transformation goal. In 34 states, the firm runs 2,272 retail food and medicine outlets. Albertsons maintains its commitment to community impact, investing more than $200 million in food and financial assistance in 2022, including the Nourishing Neighbors Program, which delivered more than $40 million to combat food poverty.
Sarah joined the board on December 12, 2023, while Lisa took over on November 21, 2023. These directors' various skill sets are expected to boost Albertsons' growth and benefit its consumers and stockholders.
