Gap Names Head of Old Navy Unit

Gap, the clothing chain, named a former department store executive, Dawn Robertson, as head of its biggest division, Old Navy. Ms. Robertson, 51, has about 30 years of retail experience and was most recently managing director of Myer, an Australian department store. Sales at Gap stores open at least a year have declined in 25 of the last 28 months. Old Navy generated $6.8 billion in sales last year, or about two-fifths of Gap’s revenue. Ms. Robertson have a lot of experience and Gap Inc. is hoping that she can help manage the department stores.
