By Home Furnishings Business in Recliners on June 2008 St. Louis-based Furniture Brands International (FBI) announced today that former Nike executive Mike McBreen has left the company a little over a year after taking on the role of vice president of supply chain and logistics.

Dan Stone, vice president of strategy and and business development, has been named interim leader of the company’s supply chain organization. It was announced in March 2007 that McBreen had joined FBI from Nike, where he was director of global apparel operations since 2004. Friday’s announcement said McBreen has chosen to leave FBI. Stone joined FBI in 2006 as vice president of finance from Procter & Gamble.

“We thank Mike for his contributions to the development and execution of our strategic plan,” said FBI Chairman and CEO Ralph Scozzafava. “Mike developed the blueprint for our FBN Asia organization and built a team to manage that operation. I’m confident that Dan’s long experience in supporting supply chain initiatives at Procter & Gamble provides ample bench strength as we advance our global supply chain program.”

The release said FBI has begun a national search and expects to find a replacement for McBreen in the near future.
