Mullen, who joined JCPenney from Neiman Marcus in January 2022, will lead the retailer’s efforts to deliver an end-to-end integrated shopping experience that is relevant for today’s customers. To deepen loyalty with both new and existing customers, JCPenney will continue to invest in technology-powered physical and digital experiences.

“A core part of JCPenney’s overarching transformation strategy and our shift back to the basics has been a relentless focus on our customer’s needs,” said Marc Rosen, CEO of JCPenney in a statement. “Creating space for Katie to link our digital technology, customer insights and personalization capabilities and to bring it to life through an integrated, end-to-end customer experiences is a natural evolution of her role and will help take us to the next level.”

JCPenney has been reshaping its C-suite in recent months: in February 2023, the retailer named Keith Melker as its new Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, and in August 2022 the retailer picked Stephanie Plaines to serve as CFO.
