Baker will work closely with the company's management team to advance Saks Global's transformation while delivering exceptional products, elevated experiences and highly personalized service to meet consumer demand for luxury retail.
Baker noted, "I look forward to continuing to work with our highly experienced management team, valued partners, and other stakeholders to secure a strong and stable future for our company. Across Saks Global, with our deep industry expertise, well-established relationships within the luxury sector, and talented employees, we will strengthen our position so that we can capitalize on the many opportunities we see for our company in the luxury market."
"After nearly three decades with Saks, I will be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer," said Marc Metrick. "I began my career at Saks in 1995 and have had the privilege of serving in many roles across merchandising, marketing, and strategy. In 2015, I took over leadership of Saks Fifth Avenue, helping to drive innovation and growth during one of the most dynamic periods in retail history. From building a world-class team to establishing Saks.com as a leading luxury ecommerce platform, I am proud of what we accomplished together. I am deeply grateful to my colleagues, partners, and the entire Saks community for their support and collaboration over the years."
Baker added, "Marc has been a valued leader at Saks for many years, helping to drive significant transformation and growth while solidifying the company's enduring position in luxury. We thank Marc for his leadership and dedication and wish him continued success in his next chapter."
