The Home Depot Announces Interim Management Plans While CEO Takes Temporary Medical Leave
ATLANTA, Aug. 12, 2026 – The Home Depot®, the world's largest home improvement retailer, today announced that chair, president and CEO Ted Decker will take a temporary medical leave of absence. The company expects Decker to return within the next few months.
The board of directors, in alignment with Decker’s recommendation, has chosen two long-time Home Depot executives to oversee the operations of the office of the CEO during his absence. Ann-Marie Campbell, senior EVP, will provide oversight of Home Depot’s day-to-day operations, while Richard McPhail, EVP and CFO, will provide oversight of the company’s financial management and Pro subsidiaries. In his role as independent lead director, Greg Brenneman will chair the board during Decker’s leave.
“The Home Depot has the best management team in retail. Both Ann-Marie and Richard are strong, seasoned executives who have worked together for more than 20 years,” said Brenneman. “We are confident in Ann-Marie's and Richard’s ability to lead the company during this time, and we look forward to Ted’s return.”
