West Chester, Pa. - Claire Watts has resigned from her role as CEO of QVC's U.S. operations, effective Sept. 5, to pursue other opportunities.



With Watts' departure, the senior U.S. leadership team, including Doug Howe, executive VP merchandising & planning, Mary Campbell, executive VP commerce platforms, and Rob Muller, senior VP U.S. strategic planning & analytics, will report to Mike George on an interim basis as QVC seeks to optimize its long-term management structure.
