“As we work to build this new board, James is an important and valuable addition,” Baker said. “With experience in growing businesses and as someone who values self-expression through fashion, I am confident that he will bring a distinct point of view that will help us better deliver for our customers. His expertise, combined with that of our other board members, will enable Saks to further capitalize on the significant growth opportunity within luxury e-commerce.”<\/p>\n
Harden added, “This is an exciting opportunity for me to combine two of my personal passions — a love of fashion and teaming up with brands that have the potential to lead while making an impact on the communities they serve. I look forward to working with the Saks team, and to having a direct impact on the company’s future success, the fashion community and its customers.” The playoff series between the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks is tied, two games apiece.<\/p>\n
