McArthurGlen Group has announced the appointment of Susie McCabe as deputy chief executive officer.
In her new role, McCabe reports jointly to McArthurGlen’s Chairman, Joey Kaempfer, and the company’s CEO, Julia Calabrese.
’Julia Calabrese and I are delighted to welcome Susie McCabe to McArthurGlen to support us and the team in this newly-created position,’ said Kaempfer. ’Her extensive retail and management experience and her deep knowledge of satisfying the customer will be invaluable as we continue to drive growth.’
McCabe joins McArthurGlen from UnderArmour Inc., where she was senior vice president of global retail for the past four years. Prior to that, she spent 16 years with Ralph Lauren Corporation in a number of senior positions in both Ralph Lauren’s full price and outlet businesses.
’I have worked closely with McArthurGlen from the position of a brand partner for many years. They are the best management team in the outlet business and I am thrilled to be joining them,’ McCabe said.
McArthurGlen has 631,000 m2 of outlet space, with estimated annual sales of €4 bn. The company manages 24 outlets across nine countries, and in 2013, created a joint venture between the founding company Kaempfer Partners and Simon Property Group Co., the world’s largest retail property owner.
During McCabe’s time at UnderArmour, she oversaw store openings in 30 new countries, and more than doubled the group’s global retail revenues. At Polo Ralph Lauren, she held a number of senior roles, which saw her leading the strategic direction and operation of the brand's outlet stores across the US and Europe. In 2015, her accomplishments earned McCabe the title of one of ’Total Retail’s’ Top 25 Women in Retail.
McCabe chaired Ralph Lauren Corporation’s Retail Diversity Council for nine years, and served on the Board of Directors of YWCA, the women’s support and development charity, for six.
