New Macy's Execs

Federated Department Stores Inc. announced it is putting a new team in place to run its St. Louis–based Famous- Barr division, which will become Macy’s Midwest on Feb. 1. William P. McNamara, 55, has been named the division’s chairman and chief executive officer. Brian L. Keck, 52, has been named the division’s president and chief operating officer, effective immediately. McNamara most recently served as vice chairman of The May Department Stores Co., which was acquired by Federated on Aug. 30. McNamara will also oversee Marshall Field’s and four former May Co. divisions until those divisions are consolidated with Macy’s in February.
