Bellevue, Wash.-based retail brand Eddie Bauer announced ceo Neil Fiske is leaving the company next month. Fiske joined the retailer in 2007 and led it through a bankruptcy-court auction in 2009. No reason was given for his departure, reports The Seattle Times.

Company executive chairman David Chamberlain will serve as interim ceo until a permanent replacement is named.

“We have great respect for Neil and appreciate everything he's accomplished at Eddie Bauer,” Chamberlain said in a statement. “Neil set the vision and strategy for the company's return to its roots, and the board is committed to continuing this direction.”
