The Business and Support Services Division (MR) of Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS), the entity that oversees the Marine Corps Exchange (MCX), announced that Sarah Dilday was named branch head of Merchandising and Marty Hahn was chosen branch head of Supply Chain Management.
Dilday succeeded Cheryl Lemmon, while Hahn replaced Laura Rowe in their respective positions. Lemmon and Rowe each recently retired.
DILDAY
With over 37 years of distinguished leadership in retail operations, merchandising strategy, and organizational transformation, Dilday brings a proven record of innovation, resilience, and results to the MCX enterprise.
Dilday most recently served as director of Business Operations for MCCS South Carolina, where she led a $60 million retail operation across nine locations.
“Sarah is a transformational leader with an exceptional ability to turn vision into execution,” said Ed Cutshall, chief executive officer (CEO) of MR. “Her strategic mindset, operational rigor, and deep understanding of the military retail landscape make her the ideal choice to lead our merchandising efforts into the future.”
Her expertise spans merchandising, marketing, budgeting, analytics and multi-store operations, with a passion for developing high-performing teams.
Dilday holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Virginia Tech and she is a graduate of the USMC-MCCS Strategic Business Leadership Program at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler School of Business.
HAHN
Hahn brings more than two decades of executive-level experience in vendor management, logistics optimization and strategic supply chain operations across major national retailers including GNC, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Radio Shack.
In his new role, Hahn will lead MR’s supply chain strategy, overseeing vendor relations, third-party logistics (3PL) operations and process improvement initiatives that directly support the quality-of-life programs for Marines and their families.
“Marty’s track record of driving measurable results and building scalable, compliant supply chain systems is exactly what MR needs as we continue to modernize and expand our operational capabilities,” Cutshall said. “His leadership will be instrumental in ensuring our supply chain remains agile, efficient, and aligned with the mission of supporting the Marine Corps community.”
His appointment marks a significant step forward in MR’s commitment to operational excellence and continuous improvement.
“Marty brings a rare blend of strategic vision and operational discipline,” said Jen Wible, chief operating officer (COO) of MR. “His ability to identify root causes of inefficiency and implement sustainable solutions will elevate our supply chain performance across all installations.”
