Nordstrom has a new head of men’s wear.
On Monday, the Seattle-based retailer named Paige Thomas executive vice president and general merchandise manager for men’s and kids.
She succeeds David Witman who is retiring on Wednesday after 27 years with the company.
Thomas joined Nordstrom in 2012 as the company’s first general merchandise manager for its Rack off-price division where she led aggressive growth and expansion with 100 new stores, launched the division’s e-commerce site and integrated off-price merchant teams across Seattle, New York and Los Angeles, the company said.
Prior to Nordstrom, she was general merchandise manager for juniors, accessories and beauty at Kohl’s. Her 24-year retail also includes merchandising and planning roles at May Co., Federated Department Stores and Fred Meyer Stores.
“Paige has proven to be a very effective merchant leader. She is decisive and curious. We are thrilled to have her now leading men’s and kids apparel,” said copresident Pete Nordstrom.
