The TJX Companies: CEO History

3 leaders · Full leadership timeline

Company Overview

TJX Companies generated $60.372 billion in fiscal 2026 net sales by buying closeouts, cancellations, and excess branded merchandise through a global off-price network. The company turns supply-chain imbalance into value for shoppers across T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, Winners, HomeSense, Marshalls Canada, and TK Maxx.

TJX makes money by buying apparel, home fashions, footwear, accessories, beauty, and seasonal merchandise opportunistically and selling it through off-price stores at compelling value. Vendors gain a discreet, high-volume outlet for excess inventory; TJX gets merchandise at attractive cost; customers get branded goods at lower prices.
