Mike Edwards, former head of Lucy, was appointed as interim chief executive of Borders Group Inc. following the departure of CEO Ron Marshall.
Edwards, 49, who was named Borders' chief merchandising officer in September, had served as the chief executive of Portland-based Ellington Leather and, before that, as CEO of Lucy Activewear. Lucy was bought by VF Corp.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Marshall, who had been in the job for a year, will take over Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., operator of the A&P supermarket chain.
