Neil Cole is stepping down as chairman, president and CEO of Iconix Brand Group Inc., the company he founded 10 years ago. He will remain on as a special adviser through September 30. Meanwhile, board member Peter Cuneo will succeed Cole as chairman and CEO on an interim basis. The announcement of Cole’s departure added to what has already been a hectic year for Iconix’s executive team:
- March: Jeff Lupinacci resigned as CFO
- April: Seth Horowitz resigned as COO after slightly more than a year on the job
- June: David Jones was named CFO.
