Sprouts Farmers Market Adds Andrew Jhawar to Board; Doug Rauch Retires
Sprouts Farmers Market appointed Andrew Jhawar, a former Apollo Global Management partner who previously served on the Sprouts board from 2011 to 2016, as a Class III director effective May 19, 2026. Doug Rauch is retiring from the board at the company's May 20, 2026 annual meeting, and the board will temporarily grow from eight to nine members before reverting to eight.
