Fung exited retirement to join the company on an interim basis. As Interim CFO and COO, he led the Finance, Accounting and Operations teams and was instrumental in directing efforts to stabilize NMG One, the company’s recently implemented common merchandise and distribution system.
 
“Michael has done an excellent job.” said Karen Katz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Neiman Marcus Group. “His leadership and extensive experience have brought significant progress with NMG One. We very much appreciate Michael’s commitment and service to NMG.”
