Abercrombie & Fitch names CFO

It's a homecoming for Abercrombie & Fitch Co.'s next finance head.



The teen apparel retailer appointed Scott D. Lipesky as senior VP and CFO, effective October 2, 2017. Lipesky most recently served as CFO of American Signature Inc., a privately-held home furnishings company. Prior to that, he spent nine years with Abercrombie in a variety of finance roles, most recently as CFO of Hollister Co.



At Abercrombie, Lipesky succeeds — and will report to — Joanne Crevoiserat, executive VP and COO. She has continued to serve as CFO after her promotion to COO in February 2017.



"Having previously spent nine successful years with us, Scott has strong relationships here and an intimate knowledge of our business and culture that will serve him and the company well, as we continue to execute aggressively against our strategic plan," said Crevoiserat.



Lipesky began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers. His experience includes roles as corporate finance director with FTI Consulting, a global financial services advisory firm, and director of corporate business development with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
