LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - The man credited with reengineering Home Depot's supply chains is leaving after roughly 15 years in the job.
Mark Holifield, the do-it-yourself specialist's executive vice president of supply chain and product development is leaving to become chief executive officer of an unnamed US-based last mile delivery company, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Holifield joined Home Depot as supply chain senior vice-president in 2006.
