Sears Holdings announced that retail veteran Chris Capuano will join the company as SVP and president Home Fashions. She will be responsible for the oversight, leadership and growth of the in-store and online merchandising of Home Fashions in both the Sears and Kmart formats.
"Chris has had extensive experience in leading all aspects of home fashions," said John Goodman, EVP Apparel and Home, Sears Holdings. "Her dedication and background will be a strong asset as we continue to evolve our brands at both formats."
