August 31, 2025 — Staples Inc., the U.S. office supply and B2B services company, remains under interim leadership more than four years after CEO Alexander “Sandy” Douglas stepped down in June 2021. John A. Lederer, the company’s Executive Chairman, has served as interim CEO since Douglas’s departure. Despite speculation and strategic shifts within the company—owned by private equity firm Sycamore Partners—no permanent successor has been announced. Meanwhile, in Canada, Staples appointed Rachel Huckle as CEO on March 1, 2024, following David Boone’s move to lead U.S. arts and crafts retailer Michaels. Staples’ extended CEO vacancy in the U.S. raises questions about its long-term strategy as it continues shifting toward enterprise and B2B solutions.
