Macy's Inc announced that Daniel H. Edelman, currently president and chief operating officer of San Francisco-based Macy's West, has been appointed to the new corporate-level position of president for international retail development. Robert B. Harrison, previously president and chief operating officer of Macy's Northwest in Seattle, will succeed Edelman as president and chief operating officer of the Macy's West division. Both appointments are effective immediately.
In his new role, Edelman will be responsible for researching and analyzing opportunities for international expansion of the Macy's and Bloomingdale's brands. He will remain based in San Francisco and report to Terry J. Lundgren, Macy's, Inc. chairman, president and chief executive officer.
Harrison has led the transition as Macy's Northwest was consolidated into Macy's West this spring. He will relocate to San Francisco to join Jeff Gennette, chairman and chief executive officer, and Rudolph J. Borneo, vice chairman and director of stores, as part of the Macy's West senior management team. Harrison will report to Gennette. Macy's West, with 258 stores in 13 states and Guam, reports to Macy's, Inc. Vice Chair Susan D. Kronick.
"Dan Edelman and R.B. Harrison are moving to new roles that will leverage their experience as senior leaders within our company," Lundgren said. "Dan Edelman, a career Macy's executive, will help us to explore ways to expand our brands internationally. Macy's and Bloomingdale's already are known around the world as fashion leaders, and we believe that selective expansion internationally will provide additional opportunities for top-line growth in the years ahead.
