Gap has chosen Mattel executive Richard Dixon to be its
next chief executive. This election ends a year long
search that started after Gap's previous CEO left the company
last summer. Dixon is currently Mattel's president and coo
and has been a member of Gaps Board since last
November. So apart from the current role on August
3rd, he'll start the new role at Gap on
August 22. And the leadership change comes as Gap
is working to overcome a recent dip in sales.
