Bath & Body Works Inc. announced on Wednesday, Feb. 23, that Andrew Meslow is stepping down as the company’s chief executive officer. It was noted that the executive is leaving less than a year after BBW became an independent public firm.
As per Reuters, Meslow decided to vacate his post at Bath & Body Works for health reasons which was not explained further. He started to serve as the company’s CEO in early 2020, taking over the reins from Leslie Wexner, the L Brands founder.

As difficult as this decision was, I know I will be leaving this amazing company in highly capable hands with Sarah’s oversight, the deep and experienced bench of leadership and the most talented associates in the industry.”
