Brandy Richardson is set to take over as CFO as Saks Global accelerates its luxury retail growth following the Neiman Marcus acquisition.
New Appointment Strengthens Saks Global’s Finance Team
Saks Global has officially announced the appointment of Brandy Richardson as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective August 18, 2025. Richardson assumes the role during a pivotal time as Saks Global continues its transformation and expansion following the acquisition of Neiman Marcus Group in December 2024. Her arrival reinforces the company’s commitment to building a world-class leadership team to drive sustainable financial growth in the luxury market.
Richardson’s Luxury Retail Credentials
Bringing nearly 25 years of experience in corporate finance and luxury retail, Richardson joins Saks Global from Tailored Brands, Inc., where she has served as Executive Vice President and CFO since 2021. She previously spent 15 years at Neiman Marcus Group (NMG), where she rose through several senior finance roles. Her tenure at NMG provided her with deep category knowledge and a solid reputation for leading high-performing finance organizations and executing strategic initiatives that delivered long-term financial strength and efficiency.
Richardson’s impressive resume and industry knowledge make her a valuable asset to Saks Global, especially as the company recalibrates its operational model to maximize the growth opportunities made possible by its recent merger activity.
CEO Marc Metrick Expresses Confidence in New Leadership
Marc Metrick, CEO of Saks Global Operating Group, expressed full confidence in Richardson’s ability to elevate the company’s financial operations:
“With her deep background in both luxury retail and finance, Brandy is the right leader to drive Saks Global’s financial performance as we execute on our ambitious transformation strategy and capitalize on the significant growth opportunity within the luxury market,” said Marc Metrick.
“Brandy joins us at a time of great momentum on our journey to redefine luxury shopping. I’m confident that her strong leadership and strategic perspective will position us for long-term sustainable growth and value creation.”
Metrick also acknowledged the important contributions of Mark Weinsten, who has served as the Interim CFO during Saks Global’s transitional phase:
“Mark has provided critical direction to develop and implement our finance strategy following the NMG acquisition, positioning us to meet our commitments and execute on our strategic plans. He has brought valuable leadership to Saks Global, and we are grateful for his guidance during this transformational time.” said Metrick.
Richardson Looks Ahead
In response to her appointment, Richardson shared her enthusiasm for joining Saks Global at such a crucial point in its evolution:
“Saks Global is poised to shape the future of luxury retail and I’m thrilled to join this forward-thinking team. My years with NMG were foundational to my career, and I’m energized by the opportunity to return to luxury retail as part of Saks Global during this incredibly exciting time for the company. I look forward to helping drive the company’s future success by identifying and pursuing opportunities for sustainable, long-term growth,” said Brandy Richardson.
Charting the Path Forward
Richardson will be based at Saks Global’s Dallas headquarters and report directly to CEO Marc Metrick as a member of the executive leadership team. She will work closely with Mark Weinsten during the transition to ensure continuity and alignment in the company’s financial strategy.
Her appointment highlights Saks Global’s pursuit of long-term success through strong leadership and a refined corporate strategy. As the luxury retail landscape evolves, Richardson’s leadership is expected to play a critical role in guiding the company through its next chapter of growth and innovation.
