On Jan. 18, JCP named Kristen E. Blum as Chief Technology Officer and executive vice president. Her appointment resulted in the elimination of the CIO position held by Ed Robben, who left the company this month. The elimination of the CIO position was revealed in a memo sent out by Blum to the JCP IT staff.
"As our Company continues to transform, we must continue to look at the organization to ensure we have the right structures to ensure efficiency and productivity. I wanted to let you all know that as a result, Ed Robben's position has been eliminated. I know you will join me in wishing him all the best in his future endeavors and thanking him for all of his contributions to JCP," the memo read. JCP did not return calls and messages seeking comment.
