Thomas will focus on building CNBC.com’s coverage of department stores such as Macy’s and J.C. Penney, plus specialty retailers such as Lululemon in her new position.
She joined CNBC in January 2017 as a news associate focused on breaking news coverage, but quickly shifted gears to retail and consumer coverage.
