Marshall Retail Group and InMotion, both WHSmith companies, have added to executives to their team. Alysa Zawistowski was named senior vice president of people, and Joshua Bellendir was appointed senior vice president of information technology and chief information officer.
Bellendir will be instrumental in developing new ideas at MRG and InMotion that will lead to further innovation in the retail space while leading the expanding IT team to deliver improved customer experiences. He previously was a senior leader in IT with his work with companies like Abercrombie & Fitch, Fast Retailing (Uniqlo, Theory, J Brand), Deloitte, SoftBank Robotics, and most recently, Woven Planet.
Zawistowski will lead the “people teams” of both MRG and InMotion, effectively balancing big-picture thinking and strategic planning through various areas of human resources.
