Victoria's Secret: Chief Legal Officer Melinda McAfee to leave effective March 31, 2027

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Victoria's Secret & Co. said its Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, Melinda McAfee, will leave the company effective March 31, 2027, and that it has started a search for a successor. The filing describes a transition agreement under which she keeps her current role until a successor is appointed and then stays on in a non-executive role until her departure date. The change is an executive departure rather than a financial result, so it has no direct effect on reported earnings.

Key points

  • Melinda McAfee, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, will leave effective March 31, 2027
  • Transition and Separation Agreement dated October 7, 2026 keeps her in her current role until a successor is appointed
  • Severance benefits under her Executive Severance Agreement dated June 29, 2021, subject to a full release of claims and continued compliance with restrictive covenants
