Levi Strauss & Co. announced on Wednesday the appointment of Elliott Rodgers as a member of the board. 

“Elliott has deep knowledge of ecommerce, digital transformations and how to drive operational excellence in today’s omnichannel supply chain,” said Stephen C. Neal, chair of the board.     

“His expertise in all of these areas will be invaluable as we focus on direct-to-consumer and continue to look for innovative ways to get our products to our consumers when, where and how they want them.”

Rodgers is chief information officer of Ulta Beauty, Inc. and previously held several supply chain roles since joining the company in November 2013. 

Prior to joining Ulta Beauty, Rodgers was director of operations, Target.com and mobile, at Target where he was responsible for Target’s ecommerce website and fulfillment operations and co-led Target’s omnichannel supply chain pilot programs. 

With more than a decade of experience in the retail industry, he equally held operational leadership roles spanning retail, financial services, and logistics at Target, Citibank and the United States Army. 

“I am honored to join the board at Levi Strauss & Co., a company I’ve long admired as a leader of industry and culture,” Rodgers said. 

“I hope to complement the strength of the current board of directors and management team with my experience and passion as we all work toward the company’s continued success.”

In October, Levi announced a series of leadership changes, in an effort to allow the brand to increase its focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) and the digitization of its business.
