The company's board of directors subsequently accepted Marineau's recommendation to designate John Anderson, a 27-year veteran of the company, as LS&CO.'s next president and CEO. Anderson recently was president of the company's Asia Pacific region and president of LS&CO.'s global sourcing organization before being named chief operating officer in July.
“John Anderson and I have been working closely to ensure a smooth transition when I retire and he becomes CEO,” said Phil Marineau. “We've been collaborating on the company's strategic business plans and a number of senior leadership changes. With these appointments, John will begin his term as CEO with very strong leadership teams running our North America and Asia Pacific regions.”
LS&CO.'s business is organized into three geographic regions: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. In fiscal year 2005, these regions represented approximately $2.5 billion, $980 million and $690 million of the company's approximately $4.1 billion total sales, respectively. In addition to comprising markets such as Japan, Korea, India and China, the company's Asia Pacific region also covers South America, the Middle East and Africa.
