Kohl’s has named Steven Dee as its new chief technology officer, effective August 25, reporting to Interim Chief Executive Michael Bender.
Most recently, Dee was the chief Information and Technology officer for Rodan + Fields, the U.S. skin and haircare company. Before that, he worked at Nike for nearly six years, with roles including VP of Sales, Geography and Converse Technology and also as VP of Consumer Digital Tech, Commerce, dot.com and Analytics. In addition, he worked at Hayneedle, J.Crew and Accenture for over 25 years, respectively.
In his new role with Kohl’s, Dee will be responsible for overseeing all technology and information platforms supporting the retailer’s omnichannel business.
“We are happy to welcome Steve to the Kohl’s team during this important time for the company,” Bender stated. “As an omnichannel retailer, it’s critical for our business to have smart, agile tech solutions that both drive the work and enable operational effectiveness. Steve is well-positioned to help accelerate our strategic goals and enhance the experiences we deliver to our customers and teams.”
Dee added, “Retail is an exciting and dynamic industry that depends on smart, scalable technology solutions to serve associates all across the country, enable the systems that run operations, and ultimately improve the way Kohl’s can serve our customers. I look forward to joining the leadership team and driving the goals of this great company.”
Dee succeeds Siobhán McFeeney who served as Kohl’s chief technology and digital officer until leaving the company in April 2025.
