April’s top retail executive moves

In April, sneaker brands tapped new leaders, former and new Ulta Beauty execs were on the move, and Rodney McMullen resigned—again. Here are the retail C-suite shifts to know:

• Macy’s hired Thomas J. Edwards, COO and CFO at Michael Kors owner Capri Holdings, as its new COO and CFO. He’ll take over from Adrian Mitchell, who will depart on June 21.
• LVMH appointed Ramon Ros, former president and CEO of Louis Vuitton China, as Fendi’s new CEO, and brought on Charlotte Coupé, formerly a leader of Louis Vuitton’s men’s ready-to-wear business, as CEO of Kenzo.
• Puma’s CEO Arne Freundt left his role after 14 years with the company due to differences with its supervisory board. Former Adidas exec Arthur Hoeld was tapped to fill the role on July 1.
• On Co-CEO Martin Hoffman will take over as sole chief exec come July 1, with Co-CEO Marc Maurer departing after 12 years with the sneaker maker.
• Ulta Beauty announced Revolution Beauty CEO Lauren Brindley will serve as its new chief merchandising and digital officer, effective June 3, succeeding Monica Arnaudo, who is retiring.
• Former Ulta Beauty CMO Michelle Crossan-Matos, who left the beauty retailer in January, has been named to the newly created chief growth officer role at SharkNinja.
• Sweetgreen brought on former Pizza Hut and Chipotle exec Jason Cochran as its COO.
• Victoria’s Secret added two new brand presidents: chief merchandising officer Anne Stephenson will become president of Victoria’s Secret, while Alex Mill president Ali Dillon will be president of Pink. They join former Kendra Scott exec Amy Kocourek, who Victoria’s Secret named as president of beauty last month.
• Former Walgreens exec Roxanne Weng is Dollar Tree’s new chief supply chain officer following the retirement of Mike Kindy.
• Ahold Delhaize USA promoted Sanja Krajnovic to chief supply chain officer and Keith Nicks to chief commercial and digital officer.
• Kroger named Joe Kelley, president of King Soopers and City Markets, as its SVP of retail divisions.
• Supergoop founder Holly Thaggard is exiting her role as chair, shifting to a “strategic advisor.”

Double take: After suddenly resigning from his role as chairman and CEO of Kroger last month, Rodney McMullen stepped down from another position on The North Face-owner VF Corporation’s board, “due to a substantial change in Mr. McMullen’s principal occupation,” the company said.
