Abercrombie & Fitch promotes Jonathan Ramsden to COO role
Lifestyle fashion brand Abercrombie & Fitch has promoted Jonathan Ramsden to the position of chief operating officer.
Ramsden was previously the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer and will continue to serve as chief financial officer, in addition to carrying out his new chief operating officer role, until a new chief financial officer is appointed. He will report to Abercrombie & Fitch chief executive Michael Jeffries.
Prior to joining Abercrombie & Fitch in 2008, Ramsden was chief financial officer at global advertising and marketing services company TBWA Worldwide.
Commenting on the appointment Jeffries said: “Jonathan’s responsibilities have progressively expanded well beyond the CFO role, and this new position will enable Jonathan to work closely with me in managing the overall execution of our long-range strategic plans. Along with the new brand president positions, the creation of the new COO role will ensure we are organized for renewed growth and success going forward.”
