Nordstrom Inc. is led by brothers Erik and Pete, chief executive officer and president and chief brand officer, respectively, as well as their cousin Jamie, who serves as chief merchandising officer. The board approved the deal upon the recommendation of a special committee of independent directors that conducted a review of the transaction proposal submitted earlier this year. “The special committee of the Nordstrom board of directors reviewed this proposal against the company’s standalone prospects for growth,” said Eric Spunk, chairman of the special committee, in a statement Monday.
