“We are incredibly grateful for Jon Leiken’s contributions during a pivotal period for our company,” said Mike Creedon, Chief Executive Officer of Dollar Tree. “He brought deep expertise, sound judgment, and a sharp understanding of the regulatory landscape – all of which were invaluable in guiding our business forward. We thank him for his service and wish him continued success.”

“Succeeding Jon Leiken as General Counsel is John Mitchell, a seasoned legal leader who joined Dollar Tree in 2021 as Senior Deputy General Counsel after previously serving as a partner at the law firm of Williams Mullen,” said Mr. Creedon. “John is a highly respected attorney whose sharp legal acumen and steady leadership have guided us through moments of significant change,” said Mr. Creedon. “He understands our business, our people, and the importance of protecting and advancing our mission.
