The changes are effective immediately, and the company’s COO, Joanne C Crevoiserat, will leave the company following a short transition period, said Abercrombie & Fitch in a media statement.

I am grateful for her many contributions across the company, which will have a lasting, positive impact, and we wish her every success in the next chapter of her career,” said Fran Horowitz, chief executive officer, Abercrombie & Fitch Co.
