Nordstrom’s head of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Colleen Mitchell, has left the company after just over two years with the retailer.
In a LinkedIn post on Monday, October 13, Mitchell indicated she was exiting Nordstrom to start a coaching and consulting practice catering to executives, corporations and personal growth.
“My time at Nordstrom has been filled with personal growth, amazing support, and impactful work in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging,” Mitchell wrote on LinkedIn. “To my Nordstrom team: I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way and feeling immensely proud of the work you will continue to do. But there comes a point when you realize that your calling extends beyond your current role. For me, that calling has been persistent – a gentle nudge that’s grown into an undeniable force.”
Before joining Nordstrom in August 2022, she was head of DEI at Petco and prior to that, held a similar role at Amazon.
