This is part of the strategy and commitment to accelerate our ability to serve a wider range of clients within the global consumer landscape.

Fred’s experience includes over 25 years of senior level Human Resource leadership with many well-known retail brands including Limited Brands, Aeropostale and Charming Shoppes. In addition to his 20+ years of retail leadership experience and executive search history, Fred obtained a Master’s degree and PHD from Brown University.
