Ms. Lloyd said: "This opportunity came at a time when only something as creative and entrepreneurial as this could have pulled me away from my present role. What was so compelling was the instant connection that I had to the brand, and I love what it stands for. I really believe Kate Spade is a jewel, and I am very excited to further develop it as a lifestyle brand."
Mr. McComb added: "We are still in the process of identifying a co-president for Deborah, someone who will complement her strengths and bring additional vision to the entire operation. Until that person is named, Michael Blitzer, who has been serving in that role on an interim basis, will continue. Although Kate and Andy Spade are not part of the day-to-day business, they remain involved in the advisory board that provides strategic and creative insight for the brand as we continue to grow the business."
