Bloomingdale's’ Post

I am proud of Macy's and Bloomingdale's longstanding commitment to help end childhood hunger. For decades, our colleagues have been giving back and raising money to fight food insecurity through our social purpose platform Mission Every One. But we know that not one single company can solve this issue alone.    That's why I am joining No Kid Hungry's CEO Pledge to End Summer Hunger. Alongside incredible leaders across industries, we are mobilizing our brands by investing dollars, raisings awareness and using our platforms to increase the number of children receiving summer meals from 2.8 million to 30 million nationwide.   Join me and Macy's, Inc. in this important cause to ensure a brighter future for tomorrow's leaders: NoKidHungry.org/ceopledge

Bloomingdale's is in good shape, has grown since pre-COVID-19, and there’s a vigor to its selling floors that competitors lack, yet Olivier Bron sees plenty of room for improvement. “The next chapter will be different from the past. We want to be bold and big,” said Bron, Bloomingdale’s chief executive officer. “I’m absolutely convinced that we have a fantastic platform to build the next chapter right now, because this company has been very well managed and because the foundations are very strong.” But there are concerns.

Bloomingdale's’s chief merchant Denise Magid said the 150-year-old department store “has only just begun to tap into our full potential.” “I take immense pride in the evolution we’ve undergone in recent years,” Magid said. “We’ve enhanced our assortments, fortified our point of view and curation, and elevated both our digital and physical experience. Shoes have been pivotal to our growth, embodying our distinctive market positioning from accessible to aspirational." Magid is one of several female leaders featured in FN's June 3 print issue as part of the “Women Who Rock” special section. On June 5, FN and Two Ten Footwear Foundation honored these women at a live event in New York City.

“Retail is a blend of art and science and the perspective that you have. You have got to have great operators that really understand your culture and really understand your customer. But that also has to be imbued by new talent that comes in bringing new imagination for the consumer.”   Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Gennette reflects on his incredible career at Macy’s, Inc., what exciting opportunities are ahead for our President and Chief Executive Officer-Elect Tony Spring and why we all have a responsibility to foster the next generation of retail leaders.”
