Neiman Marcus Group announced the appointment of Hannah Kim as Chief Legal Officer, Corporate Secretary, Chief Compliance Officer and a member of the executive team.
“We are thrilled to welcome Hannah to NMG as we build momentum on our integrated luxury retail strategy. Hannah has proven herself a trusted and valued legal partner, helping to establish innovative solutions for consumer-focused companies.

Kim has an accomplished career in global corporate law, strategically leading organizations through compliance, acquisitions, reorganizations and leadership transitions. Kim was most recently chief legal officer at Energizer Holdings, Inc., where she was responsible for legal, compliance, ethics, regulatory and government affairs. She also brings significant experience leading environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, an area of increasing importance to NMG as the Company prepares to announce its three-year ESG strategy later this year.
In her new role, Kim will oversee Legal and Compliance for NMG to promote and protect the overall business strategy. “It is an honor to join Neiman Marcus Group at this pivotal time of ongoing growth and transformation. I’m excited to be a part of how we bring innovative and luxurious experiences to our customers,” said Kim.
Prior to her three years at Energizer, Kim served in senior roles at Bank of America and Lowe’s Companies, Inc. She started her law career at Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein and Alston & Bird, and earned her Bachelor’s degree and Juris Doctor from the University of Tennessee. She is also a member of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity.
Kim’s hiring follows several recent key strategic hires, including Bob Kupbens, executive vice president and chief product and technology officer for NMG, and new Neiman Marcus leaders Paolo Riva, senior vice president and general manager, Brand Partnerships & Merchandising, and Lisa Aiken, senior vice president and fashion and lifestyle director.
