Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., owner of Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, buybuy BABY, Kirkland’s, and a blockchain asset portfolio, announced the appointment of Amy Sullivan as President, effective immediately, as the Company accelerates its next phase of disciplined growth.
Sullivan is a merchant and operator who built her career across some of retail’s most recognized brands, including JCPenney, Kohl’s, Lands’ End, Express, and Lane Bryant, before joining Kirkland’s in 2012, where she rose from divisional merchandise manager to President and CEO. As CEO of The Brand House Collective, the operating entity she led through its transformation into a multi-brand retail operator, Sullivan oversaw the conversion of Kirkland’s Home stores to the new Bed Bath & Beyond Home format, a program that delivered double-digit sales growth post-reopening.
Her appointment reflects the Company’s continued commitment to operational discipline, brand clarity, and a customer-first approach to long-term value creation.
"Amy is a decisive leader with a merchant’s mindset and an operator’s discipline," said Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bed Bath & Beyond. "As we outlined in our most recent shareholder letter, our priority is clear: strengthen the foundation, simplify the business, and execute with consistency. Amy is able to do that. She will be instrumental in aligning our brands and teams to deliver sustainable, profitable growth."
As President, Sullivan will oversee the Company’s business across all pillars, with responsibility for aligning brand, product, and customer experience across the platform while advancing the Company’s "Everything Home" strategy.
"We believe we have one of the most powerful portfolios in the home—five brands, each earning a distinct place in the customer’s life," said Sullivan. "My job is to bring them together with clarity and discipline, and make sure our execution matches the ambition. That’s how we win: great brands, strong execution, and a model that makes us part of everyday life."
Sullivan will work closely with Lemonis and the broader leadership team to accelerate execution against key priorities, including improving conversion, expanding gross profit, and enhancing customer satisfaction, while continuing to streamline operations and invest in high-impact growth initiatives.
"Our opportunity is in building higher-margin products and services that deepen the relationship with our customer, not just at the point of purchase, but across every moment in the home," continued Sullivan. "That’s the ecosystem we’re building, and it’s what makes this platform different."
