Richard McPhail

Richard McPhail serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of The Home Depot, one of the world's largest home improvement retailers. In this role, he oversees the company's financial operations, capital allocation, and investor relations, and has been a key voice in articulating Home Depot's long-term growth strategy to Wall Street. His relevance to the AdTech and retail media ecosystem stems from Home Depot's investment in its own retail media network, which leverages first-party shopper data to offer targeted advertising solutions to vendors and brands — a growing area of focus as third-party cookies deprecate and retailers monetize their data assets. McPhail joined Home Depot in 2005 and has held a series of progressive finance roles across the organization before ascending to CFO. His tenure has coincided with significant digital transformation at Home Depot, including investments in supply chain, e-commerce, and data infrastructure that underpin the company's retail media ambitions. He has been instrumental in communicating the financial value of these investments to investors and analysts. While McPhail is primarily known as a corporate finance executive rather than an AdTech specialist, his stewardship of Home Depot's financial strategy places him at the intersection of retail, data monetization, and advertising technology. As retail media networks become a significant revenue stream for large retailers, CFOs like McPhail play an increasingly important role in shaping how these businesses are built, measured, and scaled.
