People on the Move

Eddie Bauer Holdings Inc.: CEO Fabian Mansson resigned from the company on Feb. 9, the day after shareholders rejected a $286 million takeover by two private equity firms, Sun Capital Partners and Golden Gate Capital. Bauer board member Howard Gross, who was the former CEO of Limited Stores and Victoria’s Secret Stores, was named interim CEO. Mansson, who was at the helm during Bauer’s 2005 recovery from Chapter 11 as a unit of the bankrupt Spiegel Inc., headed up the Bauer unit for more than four years.
