Seattle—Nordstrom has announced the appointment of a CEO as it moves away from its co-president structure.

Pete and I continue to be partners in ensuring Nordstrom’s success, and we are both focused on executing our long-term plan. We look forward to continue working with our Board to deliver on our shared vision for the future of Nordstrom.”
