Corie Barry

- Corie Barry started at electronics retailer Best Buy in 1999 and climbed the ranks to CFO before being named CEO in June 2019. - The Minnesota native also sits on the board of Domino’s Pizza. - Best Buy reported 2023 revenue of $43.45 billion, roughly the same amount as before the COVID-era electronics boom, essentially erasing all pandemic gains. - Barry has taken steps to protect profitability; she’s shrunk the sales areas of stores to dedicate more space to support e-commerce. Still, operating profit as a percent of revenue slipped last year. - Some relief is on the way; Barry says AI-based products will soon lift Best Buy. “We believe we are just at the beginning of the impact of AI on tech, innovation, and customer demand,” Barry told Wall Street analysts in August.
