Carr-Smith departing Peapod

Jennifer Carr-Smith is resigning from her role as president of Peapod effective Sept. 15 to pursue another opportunity, Ahold Delhaize said in a statement.

Walt Lentz, head of supply chain strategy and operations for Peapod, will oversee the operations of Peapod on an interim basis until a permanent replacement is named.

Carr-Smith took over from Peapod co-founder Andrew Parkinson a little more than two years ago.

Lentz is a former SVP of supply chain for Delhaize who joined Peapod a year ago.

“We wish Jennifer well and thank her for her leadership at Peapod over the past two years, during which time she helped to further its goal of innovating and providing customers with convenience, value and an unparalleled shopping experience,” Kevin Holt, COO of Ahold USA, said in a statement. “I am confident that Walt’s strong leadership will move Peapod forward during the transition.”
