Gap Names Cynthia Harriss President of Its Outlet Operations in North America
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Gap Inc. on Monday said it named Cynthia Harriss, president of its outlet operations, to take charge of overseeing all aspects of the retailer's brand in North America.
Harriss, who joined the company in February 2004 after a career with Walt Disney Co. and Paul Harris Stores, will become president of the Gap brand, which included Gap Adult, GapKids, babyGap and GapBody. She will move into the position effective May 2, succeeding Gary Muto, who became president of a retail concept brand for women over age 35 in September.
Meanwhile, Harriss' current role will be filled by Diane Neal, who is currently senior vice president of merchandising for Gap Inc. Outlet. She was previously president of Mervyn's department stores for three years.
Shares of Gap fell 8 cents to close at $20.94 on the New York Stock Exchange.

I don't think that it's shocking news that she went to the gap.
