Abercrombie Sues Gap Over Poaching of CMO
Posted in: Uncategorized
Just before the start of back-to-school shopping, there’s a retail battle brewing behind the scenes: Abercrombie & Fitch last week filed litigation against Gap Inc. for the recent hire of Craig Brommers as chief marketing officer of Gap’s namesake brand.
Gap Inc. in January said it had hired Mr. Brommers, who had been senior VP of marketing at Abercrombie for three years. He is scheduled to begin his post at Gap Inc. on July 25, based in the New York office of the San Francisco-based company.
Abercrombie’s suit, which includes Mr. Brommers as a defendent, alleges that the executive violated his non-compete clause with New Albany, Ohio-based Abercrombie. The agreement prohibited Mr. Brommers, who was paid a salary of $415,000 with a bonus of $120,000, from working for 12 specific retail competitors, including Gap, for a period of 12 months following his employment with Abercrombie, according to the suit.
