Kohl’s Corporation, a US-based leading omnichannel retailer, has announced that Robbin Mitchell has joined its board of directors as an independent director. A member of fashion & luxury leadership team at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Mitchell brings extensive retail industry operating experience and expertise in areas important to Kohl’s growth strategy.

“Mitchell’s background and skillset are ideally suited to support Kohl’s continued strong execution and momentum,” Frank Sica, Kohl’s chairman, said in a press release. “Her leadership at BCG and executive-level retail, apparel, supply chain and omnichannel experience position Mitchell to make immediate contributions. Mitchell’s insights will help us build upon our efforts to reignite women’s, accelerate growth in active and beauty, and capture market share from the retail industry disruption.”

Mitchell's appointment is part of the continuous board refreshment process at Kohl’s, which brings directors appointed in the past five years to half of the board and continues to enhance its diversity.

Mitchell has been appointed to a term expiring at Kohl’s 2021 annual shareholders meeting and will stand for election by Kohl’s shareholders at that time. She will initially serve on the board’s governance and nominating committee. With Mitchell’s appointment, the board has now been expanded to consist of 12 directors, 11 of whom are independent.

“Mitchell’s appointment, like our other board changes in the past several years, reflects both our internal assessment of the mix of experience and skills of our board and our ongoing dialogue with all of our shareholders as to their perspectives on our board’s composition,” Peter Boneparth, chairman of the board’s nominating and governance committee, said.

“I am thrilled to join the Kohl’s board at such an exciting time for the company,” Mitchell said in the release. “I look forward to being part of such a strong and diverse board and working with the highly talented management team to help Kohl’s achieve its compelling vision for the future.”
