"Amy is a decisive leader with a merchant's mindset and an operator's discipline," said Marcus Lemonis, executive chairman and CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond. "She will be instrumental in aligning our brands and teams to deliver sustainable, profitable growth."

In her new role, Sullivan will oversee the company's business operations across all divisions and will be responsible for aligning brand, product, and customer experience across the platform. She will work with Lemonis and the leadership team on priorities including improving conversion, expanding gross profit, and enhancing customer satisfaction.
