KnitWell Group Appoints Angelica Munson as Chief Digital and Customer Data Officer

KnitWell Group, the parent company of Ann Taylor and Talbots, named Angelica Munson to the newly created role of chief digital and customer data officer, effective as announced on Sept. 22, 2026. Munson will oversee customer data, insights, AI-assisted marketing, personalization, and digital marketing across the portfolio. She previously served as global chief digital officer at Shiseido Group, where she launched the Beauty Tech Lab, and held senior roles at Fast Retailing's Theory and Helmut Lang, and Estée Lauder's Clinique.
