In a fireside chat with CMU president Farnam Jahanian, Decker traced his path from Tepper MBA to the Home Depot chairmanship and said the company is pushing AI adoption top-down, starting in marketing and data analytics rather than in stores.
Decker opened Home Depot's investor day with a strategic update built on three priorities - core and culture, a frictionless interconnected experience, and winning the pro - and set a preliminary fiscal 2026 outlook plus a separate market-recovery case against an approximately $1.1 trillion addressable market.
