merchandising officer
SEATTLE, Jan. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) today announced that Chief
Merchandising Officer Teri Bariquit
is retiring. To ensure a smooth transition, Teri will remain in her
role until the company identifies her successor.
Throughout her 37-year career at Nordstrom, Bariquit
has held a variety of leadership roles across the company's
merchandising organization, supporting inventory audit,
merchandising technology, planning and more before becoming the
company's first-ever chief merchandising officer in 2019. During
her tenure, Bariquit has transformed the company's approach to
merchandising, leading the development of a digital-first,
omnichannel strategy designed to meet the needs of Nordstrom
customers, growing the company's unowned inventory models and
supporting significant growth within its designer business. Under
her leadership, the company has made critical investments in
technology and organizational design within merchandising to fuel
its long-term growth.
"We're extremely grateful for the contributions Teri has made to
our company over the past 37 years," said Pete Nordstrom, president and chief brand
officer of Nordstrom. "From her earliest days with the company,
Teri has lived our values and led with courage and purpose. During
her tenure, she's transformed every element of our merchandising
organization and positioned our merchandising team for continued
success. The impact Teri has made on our company will last well
into the future, and I appreciate the thoughtful approach she has
taken to planning her retirement. We wish her the best as she
begins this next chapter."
"It has been a privilege to spend my career at Nordstrom and
work alongside such a talented team – one with a relentless focus
on providing customers with the most relevant and inspirational
products from the world's best brands," Bariquit said. "I'm
confident in the team and strategy that are in place and excited
about what's ahead for Nordstrom."
Nordstrom has commenced an internal and external search process
to identify Bariquit's successor.
