Gap Appoints New Brand President, Moves to Centralize Creative Resources in NYC

Possibly pilfered automobile photographs notwithstanding, Gap Inc. is changing up its flagship brand. Eager to forget the logo update brouhaha of last fall, the San Francisco-based company is bidding farewell to Gap North America President Marka Hansen, who will step down on Friday. Gap looked within to replace Hansen, a 24-year veteran of the company, and the new president is…Art Peck, the snappily named leader responsible for big profits at the company’s Outlet business. Meanwhile, a new creative hub in New York City will focus on kickstarting Gap brand product and marketing.
