As chief transformation officer, Will has led the effective and disciplined management of our transformation initiatives while also taking on various operational and strategic responsibilities. As president, he will continue to lead these efforts and work alongside me to further develop and advance our strategic roadmap and execute our growth and productivity initiatives.”

Stengel has served in various executive leadership roles at HD Supply, including as president and CEO of HD Supply Facilities Maintenance. Prior to that role, he was COO and chief commercial officer at HD Supply Facilities Maintenance.
