Roger Markfield

Roger Markfield is vice chairman of American Eagle Outfitters, whose flagship apparel brand targets 15- to 25-year-old “boys and girls.”

Markfield is the merchandising maven who helped the Pittsburgh company identify and target its niche customer following a shift from national brands to private label apparel. He placed supply chain management in the capable hands of Li & Fung, which efficiently bolstered the company’s competitive edge.

More recently, he led the development and 2006 launch of American Eagle’s Martin + Osa, a sportswear brand that targets 28- to 40-year old men and women.
