Federated Names Key Divisional Presidents
Cincinnati-based Federated Department Stores Inc. promoted two executives to key posts within its Macy’s East and Macy’s Florida divisions.
Mark S. Cosby was named president and chief operating officer of Macy’s East, effective June 4, while J. David Scheiner was named to the same post in the Macy’s Florida division.
Cosby, who currently serves as senior vice president of property development, will assume the role from James E. Gray, who is retiring after a 46-year career with Macy’s. Gray was president of Bullocks in Los Angeles from 1985 to 1988.
Cosby joined Macy’s last July from Sears Roebuck & Co., where he was president of full-line stores.
Scheiner previously was vice chairman and director of stores. He replaced Nirmal K. Tripathy, who left the company to pursue other opportunities.—Robert McAllister
