Orsak will replace the current company president, Craig Boyan, who has led the company for 20 years, according to a news release.
Boyan is slated to transition to a senior advisor role, the release states.
Additionally, Orsak’s promotion marks a historic milestone for the company: she will become the first woman president in H-E-B’s 120-year history.
“Roxanne is the natural choice to serve as H-E-B’s next President,” H-E-B CEO Howard Butt II said. “She has a deep understanding of our business, which she honed from a broad range of leadership roles at H-E-B during her 37-year tenure. Roxanne leads by example, embodies our culture, and recognizes the unique contributions of each Partner.”
Orsak began her career with H-E-B in 1988 as a store management trainee and worked in multiple areas before becoming chief operating officer in 2022.
She is also recognized for launching the H-E-B Plus format in 2004 and the Joe V’s Smart Shop format in 2010.
