Peterson, the company added, is responsible for the customer strategy, consumer insights and research, experience design and membership/loyalty for Best Buy, playing an instrumental role in building out its digital presence to align with new consumer behaviours. Her career has been entirely focused in retail, first at Target Corp. and then in several leadership roles at Best Buy, including chief marketing officer and president of E-Commerce.

With over 25 years of experience in the media and entertainment industry, Cheeks, the company said, has demonstrated his deep understanding of how an iconic brand grows with its audience in the context of changing distribution, culture, lifestyles and preferences. Now driving the development of CBS’ core assets, he previously served in several senior executive positions that spanned creative, business and operational roles at NBCUniversal. Most recently, he was vice chairman, NBCUniversal Content Studios.
