Barneys New York, which is a luxury retailer, has just named their newest CEO who goes under the name of Mark Lee. Mark Lee is not just anybody in the fashion market; he was the former head of Gucci.
Barneys itself has been without a CEO since 2008, and so far seven executives from the committee have been lending a hand in running this company. But now, looks like their job is done as the 47-year old Mark Lee will be taking over his new post as CEO.
On its side, Barneys released a press statement by saying that Mark Lee is coming in with more than 25 years of experience under his belt. A man of experience is what Mark Lee surely is, as he first entered Gucci in 1996 then proceeded to become the president and CEO from 2004 till 2008. Before that, Mark Lee entered the fashion market in 1984, and from there on, there was no looking back for the man who also worked at Giorgio Armani and Jil Sander brands.
