Nordstrom Appoints New Chief Human Resources Officer Farrell Redwine

Nordstrom has appointed Farrell Redwine as its new chief human resources officer.

Through her role, Farrell and her executive team will support more than 55,000 employees at Nordstrom in stores, fulfillment and distribution and corporate centers. Farrell will also oversee human resources, including recruitment and succession planning, learning and development, recognition and retention, diversity and total rewards.

“At Nordstrom, we aim to create an exceptional employee experience so our people can create an exceptional customer experience,” said Erik Nordstrom, chief executive officer of Nordstrom Inc.

“It’s both the right thing to do and best for our business. With Farrell’s deep experience and leadership, she is uniquely qualified to help us build an innovative, diverse and inclusive workforce and culture.”

Farrell started her career at Nordstrom in 2016 and since then, she has held various leadership roles throughout her tenure, most recently overseeing centers of excellence for the entire employee lifecycle.

Prior to Nordstrom, she held global human resources leadership roles at several other large corporations, including ExxonMobil and Time Inc. Farrell has also been recognized by Savoy magazine as one of its 2019 “Most Influential Women in Corporate America” — a prestigious list of African American business leaders and executives.

“The heritage of service at Nordstrom is enabled by our people,” said Farrell Redwine, chief human resources officer at Nordstrom.

“I look forward to supporting Nordstrom’s ambitious and exciting future by driving an inclusive culture of belonging, attracting best-in-class talent and creating a meaningful and positive work experience for our people.”

Farrell will report to Nordstrom CEO Erik Nordstrom.
