Hubert Joly

Best Buy has announced that its new CEO is Hubert Joly , a former hospitality CEO. He'll be starting in early September, once his visa is secured. Joly, who is from France, will step in to replace interim CEO Mike Mikan. Best Buy has been looking for a new chief exec since Brian Dunn stepped down in April because of allegations about an inappropriate relationship with an employee. Joly was previously at privately-held global hospitality company Carlson, which is based in Minnesota. He had served as president and CEO since 2008. Joly went on to be CEO of Carlson Wagonlit Travel in 2004, where his stellar performance in transforming the firm eventually earned him the big gig at the head of parent Carlson. He graduated from HEC Paris with a Business Administration degree and graduated from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris with a Public Administration degree. Kim is the retail editor at Business Insider, covering big box, apparel, e-commerce and restaurants. Previously he worked for a financial and strategic management consulting firm. He is also currently a part-time graduate student in Business and Economic Reporting at New York University. Kim holds an MBA in Strategic Management from Pace University and a BSc in Business Administration from Sacred Heart University.
