Destination Maternity president resigns

Philadelphia Destination Maternity Corp. announced that Emilia Fabricant, its president, has decided to resign her position with the company effective Aug. 3, for personal reasons. She has been with the chain for just a little over two months.

Ed Krell, the chain’s CEO, will assume the additional duties of president.

“This decision for me was a very difficult one considering how positive I feel about Destination Maternity and its prospects for the future,” Fabricant said. “However, I have decided that the best thing for my family is to maintain my residence and continue my career in Southern California.”

Prior to Destination Maternity, Fabricant served as president and chief merchandising officer at Charlotte Russe, a San Diego-based specialty retailer.
