What: Macy’s has promoted an internal profile to look after a strategic set of categories.

Why it is important: Even though Macy’s advertises on the performance of its fashion business, the title suggests that the beauty department accounts for a disproportionate share of the total business.

Macy’s has announced the promotion of Julie Walsh as SVP and GM of centre core and beauty, from her current role as DMM for fragrances. She will now have to deal with beauty, jewelry, handbags, shoes and accessories and report to Nata Dvir, CMO, whose interview was published earlier this year.

Walsh has conducted her entire career at Macy’s.
