Sarah E. Nash became the Interim CEO of Bath & Body Works in May 2022 during a critical transition period for the company. With almost 30 years in investment banking at JPMorgan Chase, where she rose to Vice Chairman, her experience in finance is extensive. She played a crucial role in the separation of Victoria's Secret from Bath & Body Works, guiding the company through challenging times. Sarah not only sits at the helm of Bath & Body Works but also serves as the Executive Chair and is a majority shareholder at Novagard Solutions, a privately held firm. She is involved in various boards, including Blackbaud, and is well-respected in the realm of corporate governance, even serving as a trustee for the New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Her journey is notable as she has successfully navigated Bath & Body Works through CEO transitions and industry challenges, demonstrating her strategic thinking and leadership skills. Her compensation for 2022 totaled $1,050,000, consisting of a $800,000 salary, a performance-related bonus, and other contributions that included retirement and health benefits. Interestingly, her role as CEO transitioned to Gina Boswell at the end of 2022, and she is still engaged as the independent Chair of the Board. Sarah's financial insights and hands-on experience put her in a strong position to lead the company during its vital stages of growth and transformation.
