Brandy Richardson, a longtime executive at Neiman Marcus Group, has been named chief financial officer of Saks Global, effective Aug. 18.
She will join the Saks Global Management Team and be based in Dallas.
Saks Global, based in New York, is widely described as the world’s largest multi-brand luxury retailer. Richardson takes over from Interim CFO Mark Weinsten, who joined the company to help lead its finance function through the initial phase of its post-acquisition transformation. Saks Global acquired Neiman Marcus Group in December 2024.
Richardson and Weinsten will work together to ensure a smooth transition, the company said.
“Brandy is the right leader to drive Saks Global’s financial performance as we execute on our ambitious transformation strategy,” Saks Global Operating Group CEO Marc Metrick said in a statement. He added that her leadership and perspective would help position the company for “long-term sustainable growth and value creation.”
Richardson brings nearly 25 years of experience in finance and luxury retail. Most recently, she served as executive vice president and CFO of Tailored Brands Inc., a position she has held since 2021. Before that, she spent 15 years in finance leadership roles at Neiman Marcus Group.
Saks said Richardson has a strong track record of building finance teams and leading strategic initiatives that drive profitability and growth in the luxury sector.
Metrick also credited Weinsten with playing a key role during a pivotal moment for the company.
“Mark has provided critical direction to develop and implement our finance strategy following the NMG acquisition,” Metrick said. “We are grateful for his stewardship during this transformational time.”
Richardson said she’s energized by the opportunity to return to luxury retail at a company undergoing major change.
“Saks Global is poised to shape the future of luxury retail, and I’m thrilled to join this forward-thinking team,” she said. “My years with NMG were foundational to my career, and I look forward to helping drive the company’s future success.”
