Reporting to Managing Director Tom Kingsbury, who was appointed in February, Jones will be responsible for merchandising strategy and all merchandising functions, including sourcing, digital and omnichannel merchandising, product design and development, and product portfolio strategy.
With Jones, Kohl’s has gained an experienced merchandiser with over 25 years of professional experience.
