Greg Foran: Former Air New Zealand CEO on taking over as head of US retailer Kroger

The former boss of Air New Zealand is jetting off to America.

It's been reported Greg Foran will be named as the new chief executive of retail giant, Kroger.

It operates supermarkets and multi-department stores throughout the US, and is regarded as one of the country's big four retailers.

Greg Foran says he'll have his hands full but he's looking forward to it.

"It's a business, does about $150 billion a year and just over 400,000 associates work there, there's about $3,000 stores, multiple brands - it's going to be complex."
