Redmond: The chief executive of struggling clothing retailer Eddie Bauer resigned a day after shareholders rejected the company's proposed sale to two private equity firms.
Fabian Mansson served as president and CEO for more than four years, the company said. The financial terms of his departure were not immediately disclosed Friday.
Eddie Bauer Holdings said board member Howard Gross would serve as interim CEO. The company said Gross, a veteran apparel retailer, has worked as CEO of Limited Stores and Victoria's Secret Stores.
Eddie Bauer has struggled for years as it tried to reach outside its core outdoor apparel line. Company officials said they would move ahead with a turn-around strategy, but the future remains uncertain.
