Nancy Pedot departs Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princesse Tam Tam

Nancy Pedot is leaving her role as chief executive officer at Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princesse

Tam Tam fashion labels less than a year after being appointed. Fast Retailing Group, parent company of the fashion labels, stated that Pedot left the company to pursue “other career opportunities,” but remain ambiguous what her next step was.

Pedot first began working for Fast Retailing in November 2013, succeeding Elisabeth Cunin. Prior to that she was president and CEO of children's wear label Gymboree. At the time of her appointment, CEO and president of Fast Retailing Group, Tadashi Yanai, stated that Pedot was “instrumental in laying the foundation for the next period of growth for these two important Fast Retailing Group brands”.

Nobuo Domae, senior group officer at Fast Retailing and co-CEO of Fast Retailing France branch, will take over Pedot's function on a interim basis until a successor has been found. Domae will be based in the meantime between Tokyo and Paris.
