TJX President Resigns

Framingham, Mass., Edmond (Ted) English announced his resignation Tuesday as president and CEO of TJX Cos., effective immediately. English, who has been with TJX for 23 years, has served as CEO since 2000. Bernard Cammarata, the chairman and former CEO of TJX, was named acting president. English will advise the company while it searches for a permanent replacement.

“While sales and segment profit at Marmaxx, our largest business, have experienced strong growth, our other businesses have not met expectations over the past year, despite actions taken to improve their performance,” English said in a statement. “These businesses would benefit from a fresh perspective at the top.”
