Ceo assumes role on interim basis
Talbots Inc. (Hingham, Mass.) said chief creative officer Michael Smaldone has left the company, effective immediately. Talbots president and ceo Trudy Sullivan is taking on that role on an interim basis, while the company searches for a replacement.
“While we have made progress in executing our brand vision and product design, customer acceptance needs to improve,” says Sullivan. “I have determined it is necessary for us to bring in new creative leadership. We believe the action we have taken will enable us to strengthen the execution of our brand and merchandise initiatives going forward.”
