LEAVING NORDSTROM: Gigi Ganatra Duff, vice president of corporate communications at Nordstrom Inc., has left the Seattle-based retailer to join a tech company.

“After close to eight years at Nordstrom, I have accepted an offer to be the chief communications officer at a tech company, which will be officially announced in a few weeks,” Duff said in an email last week. “My last day at Nordstrom is Friday [Aug. 30].”
