September’s retail exec moves included several noteworthy exits and oustings

September brought with it yet another retail CEO ousted after a policy violation (what’s going on here?!), Succession-level drama at a regional grocer, and the resignation of an ice cream icon. Let us catch you up on the month’s biggest exec moves:

• Nestlé fired CEO Laurent Freixe after an investigation—sparked by an anonymous tip to an internal company hotline—found the exec engaged in an undisclosed romantic relationship with an employee that reported to him. He was replaced by Nespresso CEO Philipp Navratil.
• Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield quit his role at the Unilever-owned ice cream giant, claiming the parent company has “silenced” the brand from speaking up about social causes.
• Beloved Market Basket CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was ousted by the New England grocer’s board, calling him a “dictator” in court filings. Its CFO Don Mulligan was announced as his interim replacement, though Demoulas has filed a counterclaim asking to be reinstated.
• After Dick’s Sporting Goods closed its Foot Locker acquisition, Foot Locker CEO Mary Dillon and President Franklin Bracken exited, while a slate of new leaders were hired.
• Beer giant Molson Coors promoted Chief Strategy Officer Rahul Goyal to the president and CEO spot, succeeding Gavin Hattersley, who announced his retirement in April.
• Following CEO Kyle Leahy’s exit announcement in June, Glossier named Colin Walsh as its next leader. Walsh joins after serving as CEO of specialty beauty at P&G.
• Gucci tapped Francesca Bellettini, co-deputy CEO for brand development at Kering, as its new president and CEO after the departure of leader Stefano Cantino.
• Pandora CEO Alexander Lacik is retiring in March, with CMO Berta de Pablos-Barbier set to take over.
• Madewell president Adrienne Lazarus departed her role, a move the company called a “mutual decision.” No successor has been named.
• Bluemercury CEO Maly Bernstein left the Macy’s-owned beauty retailer after four years, with a replacement yet to be announced.
• Stella McCartney brought on Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford alum Tom Mendenhall as its CEO, filling the spot vacated by Amandine Ohayon.

After announcing its planned expansion into beauty and accessories, Gap Inc. named a number of execs set to oversee the effort, including Nordstrom’s Deb Redmond and Kate Spade and Coach’s Michele Parsons as GMs of beauty and accessories, respectively.
