Department store Myer has confirmed another departure from its executive fold.
The company today announced the resignation of executive general manager, business services and strategy Greg Travers to take up a role within the resources sector.
Myer CEO Bernie Brookes paid tribute to Travers’ contribution to Myer over the past eight years.
“While we will be very sorry to see Greg leave, he has been offered a great new opportunity to return to the resources sector with an international mining company. Greg spent many years in senior roles in the resources sector prior to joining Myer.
“Greg leaves with our best wishes and thanks for his valuable contribution since the period of private equity ownership of the business, through our IPO and business transformation,” Brookes said.
Travers has provided three months' notice.
According to the company, his role will be covered by internal appointments while a review of further consequential changes and other appointments is under way.
As previously reported on ragtrader.com.au, Myer recently confirmed it had reached agreement with Brookes to re-engage him on an ‘open term’ contract as CEO of the company, despite the previously advised conclusion of his contract in August 2014.
The decision follows a move by Myer in October 2013, which saw the retailer to put forward a conditional, non-binding, indicative proposal for a potential merger of Myer and David Jones.
Both companies have remain tight-lipped on the progress on the merger discussions to date.
