<p><strong>科尔士</strong> 董事会因故解雇了首席执行官阿什莉·布坎南，并任命现任董事会主席迈克尔·本德为临时首席执行官，直到找到永久替代人选。根据公司声明，布坎南因 “<strong>参与了涉及未披露利益冲突的供应商交易</strong>” 而被解雇，此次解雇是在外部律师的调查和董事会的监督下进行的。</p>
<p>董事会在声明中明确表示，布坎南的解雇 <strong>与公司的业绩无关，也不涉及其他任何人。</strong> 布坎南还被移除出科尔士董事会。</p>
<p>布坎南并没有太多机会影响这家挣扎中的零售商的命运，因为他仅在一月份接任首席执行官一职。布坎南在加入科尔士之前曾在 <strong>迈克尔斯</strong> 任职，作为首席执行官，他成功策划了该公司的转型。在他被任命时，本德称赞布坎南是理想的选择，强调了布坎南 “丰富的零售经验” 和 “推动变革的能力”。</p>
<h2><strong>科尔士临时首席执行官计划继续转型工作</strong></h2>
<p>本德自 2019 年起担任科尔士董事会成员，并于 2024 年 5 月当选为董事会主席。他之前的零售经验包括担任光学零售商 <strong>Eyemart Express</strong> 的总裁兼首席执行官，以及在 <strong>沃尔玛</strong>、<strong>维多利亚的秘密</strong> 和 <strong>百事可乐</strong> 的领导职务。在接任科尔士临时首席执行官职位时，本德将继续留在董事会，但将辞去主席职务。</p>
<p>“董事会对迈克尔担任我们的客户和员工的临时首席执行官充满信心，并将履行我们对股东的承诺，” 科尔士董事会提名和环境、社会及治理委员会主席约翰·施利夫斯基在声明中表示。</p>
<p>“与我们才华横溢的领导团队、董事会和数千名员工合作，<strong>我致力于继续执行我们的战略框架，以提升股东价值</strong>，” 本德在声明中补充道。“科尔士在全国拥有超过 <strong>1,100</strong> 家便利的门店，服务超过 <strong>6000 万</strong> 客户。我们将继续在此基础上发展，提升我们为客户提供的价值，并为实现有意义的运营和财务进展奠定基础。”</p>
<h2><strong>科尔士再遭重创</strong></h2>
<p>这次首席执行官的动荡是科尔士持续转型故事中又一个不受欢迎的篇章。这家零售商多年来一直在努力恢复实力，同时抵御一系列激进投资者的挑战。</p>
<p>在宣布布坎南被解雇的同时，科尔士发布了对公司第一季度业绩的一些初步预期，预计将在 5 月 29 日公布。第一季度的可比销售预计将再次下降，降幅在 <strong>4% 到 4.3%</strong> 之间，此前 2024 年第四季度的降幅为 <strong>6.7%</strong>。</p>
