Home Depot names new general counsel

Home Depot has named a new executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary.

Teresa Wynn Roseborough replaces Jack VanWoerkom, who retired in June after four years with the company.

She has also been deputy assistant attorney general for the U.S. Department of Justice and served as a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.

Roseborough was named one of 25 influential black women in business by The Network Journal. She received her law degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law.
