Pat Saxby is about to depart Bergdorf Goodman after close to 3 many years with the corporate, WWD has learned.

Yumi Shin, Bergdorf Goodman’s chief merchandising officer, informed brands this week that Saxby will likely be retiring from her role as vp and divisional merchandise manager of cosmetics and fragrances and leaving the corporate in two weeks. 

Angela Welcome will transition into the role of director and associate divisional merchandise manager for cosmetics and fragrances, reporting to Shin. Her role will likely be backfilled shortly, in line with Shin.

“I look ahead to supporting Angela in her recent role, and to continuing to partner with all of you. Thanks to Pat and to all of you to your continued focus and dedication to our customers,” wrote Shin in her note to beauty brands, seen by WWD.

Based on LinkedIn, Welcome has been on the retailer for twenty-four years and was most recently a cosmetics buyer, previously working in shoes.

A representative for Nieman Marcus Group, which owns Bergdorf Goodman, didn’t immediately reply to request for comment on the manager changes.

Earlier this week, WWD reported that NMG desires to grow to be much more “customer-centric” and is reorienting its buying approach. Merchants will now be more intensely focused on customer data and insights and buying for the corporate’s existing shoppers, and the corporate has formed a marketing strategy and customer analytics team.

As a part of this, NMG created recent senior management roles and consolidated certain responsibilities to eliminate silos that typically limit interactions between different business functions and slow the execution of plan.
