Ace Hardware Corporation has tapped a former Lowe's executive to be in charge of its retail training program.

Lisa Doyle, former VP Learning and Development at Lowe's, will now serve as Head of Retail Training for Ace.

She will report to Brian Wiborg, Vice President of Marketing, Retail Training and Store Operations.
