Gap Inc. Names New Head of Global Supply-Chain Division
Gap Inc. has promoted Sonia Syngal as head of the company’s global supply-chain division, replacing Colin Funnell, who is retiring.
Syngal takes on her new position immediately while Funnell will be working with the company until next March. She reports directly to Gap Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Glenn Murphy.
Syngal joined the San Francisco–based company in 2004. She most recently worked as the senior vice president of Old Navy International, where she led expansion of the brand in Japan and set the strategies for Old Navy’s global growth.
The executive also has had roles at Gap Inc. as vice president of corporate sourcing and as vice president of global production and supply chain. In both positions, she worked for Funnell.
In those jobs, she was instrumental in delivering production and sourcing strategies for Gap Inc.’s Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic.
Before working at Gap Inc., Syngal spent almost 10 years at Sun Microsystems, where she led manufacturing operations, logistics and supply-chain management.
