Martine Reardon to Depart Macy’s, Inc.

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Martine Reardon, Macy’s chief marketing officer, has decided to leave
the company, effective May 13, after 32 years of service.

“I am extremely proud of the work that I have led in building Macy’s
into an international omnichannel brand. We have established a clear and
compelling brand promise rooted in fashion, entertainment, pop culture,
value and newness, and opened potential new avenues for growth,” Reardon
said. “I will miss my Macy’s family terribly, but I am looking forward
to taking time for me now. The marketing organization at Macy’s is
incredibly deep and talented, and I am excited for my colleagues to
carry on the work we began together.”

Terry Lundgren, Macy’s, Inc. chairman and chief executive officer, said,
“It is with deep sadness that we accept Martine’s resignation from
Macy’s. Martine is a very special executive who has come to personify
the spirit, energy and integrity of Macy’s. She has poured her mind,
heart and soul into making Macy’s the industry leader it is today.
Martine’s leadership, insight, creativity and expertise have enabled
Macy’s to compete in physical stores and digitally as customer shopping
preferences have evolved. Our entire organization will miss Martine. We
salute her many accomplishments and wish her the very best in the next
chapter of her life and career.”

Reardon was named Macy’s Chief Marketing Officer in February 2012. She

the company’s advertising, creative development, social, mobile, and

its 730 stores nationwide. Under Reardon’s direction, Macy’s highly
acclaimed national marketing team has received numerous honors,
including Emmys, Reggies, Clios, Effies, Racies and Art Directors Club
Awards.

Reardon rose through the ranks at Federated Department Stores, Inc. and

Straus. Under her leadership, Macy’s has received many significant
retail industry accolades for marketing, including Mobile Marketer of
the Year, Direct Marketer of the Year, Brandweek Marketer of the Year
and the L2 Genius Award for digital relevance in retail marketing
several years running.
