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.”
Meslow went on to say, “Thanks to the hard work and dedication of a team that is second to none, Bath & Body Works has achieved incredible results. I am proud of what the Bath & Body Works team has accomplished and am confident in its bright future.”
