Emily Taylor has been appointed executive vice president and chief merchandising officer at Dollar General, taking over from Jason Reiser, who left the company.

A 22-year Dollar General veteran, Taylor previously served as senior vice president of channel innovation. In her new post, she oversees the strategy and execution of the company’s merchandising, marketing, global sourcing, merchandise operations and in-store experience efforts.

Reiser, who held the chief merchant’s role since joining Dollar General in July 2017, departed the Goodlettsville, Tenn.-based retailer on Sept. 24.

With the change, Dollar General named Tracey Herrmann as senior vice president of channel innovation and promoted Vice President and Division Manager Kal Patel to Herrmann’s previous role of senior vice president of store operations.

“We are confident that Emily’s strategic vision and longstanding leadership with Dollar General will help to drive our continued efforts to innovate, capture growth opportunities and serve our customers and communities,” Chief Operating Officer Jeff Owen said in a statement. “I would also like to thank Jason for his contributions to advancing Dollar General’s merchandising strategy and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
