First Meeting with Judith
with Judith Davis at Home Depot
Meeting #16 in the series
There is a fundamental disconnect between Home Depot leadership's stated priority of growing the Home Services division and the actual allocation of resources (headcount, engineering, marketing budget) which continues to favor the established Pro division. This creates organizational tension that undermines Home Services' ability to execute on its $5B growth target.
The Home Services division's strategic direction, executive sponsorship, and organizational momentum are heavily concentrated in Judith Davis. If Judith were to leave, burn out, or lose political capital, the entire Home Services growth initiative could stall. There is no clear second-in-command or strategic backup.
