Rural retailer Tractor Supply has appointed Fahim Siddiqui, who previously served as chief information officer at The Home Depot, to oversee its technology and digital strategy.
Tractor Supply Company announced Wednesday the appointment of Fahim Siddiqui as executive vice president and chief technology and digital officer. Siddiqui, who begins the role Monday, will report directly to President and CEO Hal Lawton.
In his new position, Siddiqui takes responsibility for the rural retailer's enterprise technology infrastructure, business applications, digital commerce operations and cybersecurity measures. His mandate includes enhancing customer experience while supporting the company's expansion objectives.
Siddiqui arrives at Tractor Supply from The Home Depot, where he served as executive vice president and chief information officer from April 2022 through May 2025.
