Best Buy International chief to retire

Best Buy has announced the retirement of Robert (Bob) Willett, CEO of Best Buy International. He will leave the company on 31 December. The company does not plan to name a successor to the specific role of International CEO. Instead, the company will rely on local management in each respective international market where it operates. Under the leadership of Willett, Best Buy has become an international player, entering Canada, China, Mexico and the UK, with entry into Turkey expected imminently. The company remains fully committed to its global growth strategy, and it continues to be one of the company’s four strategic priorities.
