They also expect to take advantage of his long-term leadership for their supply chain and logistics initiatives. They certainly appreciate Jim's many contributions to the organization's success, and Chico's will continue to benefit from the initiatives that he developed and fine-tuned and from the strong and talented marketing team he has been able to put together.
I am confident that with the seven month lead time that Jim has given us, combined with Chuck's involvement during the transition, the Chico's marketing organization will maintain its momentum as search for and transition to a new marketing executive with the appropriate and desired qualifications.
The strength of Chico's as a company is continually demonstrated by the depth and talent of their leadership team.”
