Albertsons Cos. revealed Friday that Tom Moriarty will join the company as EVP and general counsel, effective June 5, 2023. Moriarty succeeds Juliette Pryor, who left Albertsons in April to pursue another opportunity.
Moriarty brings more than 30 years of executive leadership experience to the role, including senior positions across legal, corporate strategy, policy, and operations. In his most recent role at CVS Health, he served as EVP, chief policy and external affairs officer, and general counsel. Moriarty oversaw all legal and regulatory functions within the company, including CVS Health’s $78 billion acquisition of Aetna. He also led global pharmaceutical sourcing operations and served as the company’s lead representative to the White House COVID-19 task force.
“Tom is a proven leader whose broad background and deep understanding of corporate and legal strategy make him a welcome addition to our talented leadership team,” Albertsons Cos. CEO Vivek Sankaran said in a statement. “His experience leading high-performing teams and successfully implementing important strategic initiatives at top companies will be invaluable as we continue to execute on our Customers for Life strategy.”
Moriarty sits on the board of directors for Northside Center for Child Development, a nonprofit providing behavioral and mental health programs to children and families living in poverty.
“I am incredibly energized to be joining Albertsons Cos. at such a dynamic time for the industry,” Moriarty said in a statement. “One of the things that excites me most about this opportunity is the vital role that Albertsons Cos. plays in the communities it serves as a grocery and pharmacy retailer committed to its customers and their well-being.”
Moriarty will report to Sankaran.
