How Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison went from making $4.35 an hour as a Target security guard to running the second biggest home-improvement retailer in the US
By Áine Cain
Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison can draw on his many years of retail experience.
Not only has the longtime executive held plenty of leadership positions over the course of his career, but he also knows what it's like to work as a store employee at places like Target.
Ellison became CEO of Lowe's in 2018. There, he makes a base annual salary of $1.45 million with $6 million worth of restricted stock options, according to the Charlotte Business Journal. But as a college student, he started out with a part-time security gig at Target, which only paid $4.35 an hour.

Since Arnold Donald became the CEO of Carnival Corporation in 2013, the company has more than doubled its annual earnings and increased its share price by 70%, as of the end of 2018.
Donald said in an interview with Business Insider that he made listening to his employees and customers a priority at the beginning of his tenure. If he could give his 25-year-old self advice, it would be to listen.
"I would just tell my 25-year-old self to do, hopefully, what I try to do a lot of my life, which is listen, listen, listen. You can learn from anybody and everybody," he said.
"If you listen to the world, it will reveal itself to you. In business, if you listen to your customers or guests, they will tell you what it takes to exceed their expectations. If you listen to your employees, they will tell you how to deliver whatever that guest or customer wants in a manner where it's sustainable for the company."
