Gap Inc. Promotes Sonia Syngal to CEO and Appoints New Board Members

The latest leadership moves follow a tumultuous year for the retail conglomerate

Sonia Syngal, the top executive at Old Navy since 2016, has been promoted to CEO of the brand’s parent company, Gap Inc. The family of brands also appointed two new members to its board of directors and a new executive chairman.

This follows a series of leadership shakeups at the retail conglomerate and its brands, which include Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic and Athleta, among others. Syngal’s appointment is effective March 23.

“To lead the company into its next chapter, we sought a dynamic leader who could bring a deep respect for our customers and make the decisions necessary to deliver value from our portfolio of brands over the long term,” said Bob Fisher, Gap Inc.
