Department store, Myer, has completed an internal review of its management team as it prepares for top dog Bernie Brookes’ retirement next year.

Myer’s bluechip partly-owned fashion label, Sass & Bide, has a new MD after Megan Foster, the retailer’s GM of marketing and brand development, moved roles.

Foster will now manage the Australian women’s brand and her old vacant job has been merged with control of digital sales, events, omni-channel, and other areas.

It is understood that whoever is chosen for this new role may be sized up to replace CEO Bernie Brookes, who says he’ill finish up when his contract ends next year.

Foster was a potential candidate for the top job, however, her new appointment to Sass & Bide suggests the role will be going to somebody else.

Potential CEO candidates include CFO Mark Ashby and executive GM of merchandise, Adam Stapleton, who has seen Myer through a fashion label overhaul.
