Christensen, who was employed initially on a set term of 16 months, will stay on until December to ensure a smooth handover and then work with the retailer as a consultant part-time.
Christensen joined September last year from Safeway, following the acquisition by Morrisons. He replaced Martin White as Sainsbury's began its strategy to improve in-store availability.
Sainsbury's chief executive Justin King said: 'Lawrence has been an integral part of the team and has made a massive contribution to improving our supply chain and the service we provide our customers. I am delighted that he has agreed to stay on and support the business through the year. Roger's extensive retail and logistics experience and track record of delivering results will be a great addition to the management team.'
