After parting ways with Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and the world of upscale casual apparel, in-house veteran Robert Bostrom has joined the realm of home furnishings and decor as Pier 1 Imports Inc.’s new executive vice president, chief legal and compliance officer and corporate secretary.

Bostrom, 66, stated last year that he would be leaving Abercrombie to “pursue new challenges.”  Pier 1 checks that box.
