The thesis
Why this org is unusual
Sprouts Farmers Market is distinctive for placing an unusually broad set of functional chiefs directly under the CEO, while still maintaining a powerful President & COO role.
The CEO has 11 direct reports spanning merchandising, stores, supply chain, customer, foraging, technology, legal/sustainability, HR, development, and finance.
This structure concentrates coordination at the top but preserves clear functional ownership rather than divisional P&Ls. Operations, merchandising, and stores are split across separate chiefs rather than unified under a single operating executive, signaling board emphasis on specialization and accountability as the chain scales.
Compared with peers, Sprouts runs a relatively flat, functionally oriented enterprise structure with limited layers below the C-suite, consistent with a mid-cap retailer prioritizing speed and cost discipline over complex divisional hierarchies.
- President & COO role remains central despite broad CEO span
- No separate Chief Marketing Officer; customer role is consolidated
- Legal and sustainability combined under one executive
