February is a short month, but it was full of retail execs on the move. Retail Brew has a quick recap:
- Dufry Group, one the largest airport retailers in the world, chose Xavier Rossinyol to be CEO, when Julián Diaz steps down later this year.
- Save A Lot picked Leon Bergmann, who most recently led wholesaler Harvest Sherwood Food Distributors, as the new head of the St. Louis-based discount grocer—which is itself shifting to a wholesale biz model.
- Peloton’s John Foley, who co-founded the company, was replaced as CEO as the frenzy for its fitness products started to fizzle. Barry McCarthy, the former CFO at Spotify and Netflix, is now at the helm (while Foley is the executive chair).
- Shipt found its new chief exec, Kamau Witherspoon, at parent company Target, where he was SVP of ops.
- In a surprise move (on a Friday, of course), L’Oréal named a new CEO—David Greenberg—for its US biz.
- Also in beauty, Estée Lauder “forced out” exec John Demsey over an Instagram post that contained a racial slur and a Covid-19 joke.
+1: And Dave Clark, who helps oversee retail at Amazon, was quite literally on the move: Insider reported in early February that he left the Seattle area for Texas last fall. He’s still with the e-comm giant.—GT
