Last week we noted that a number of retailers may be struggling because their boards are comprised of stodgy old white dudes who don't know a thing about tech. We noted a few exceptions. It sounds like Nordstrom Inc. ($JWN) got the memo by adding Stacy Brown-Philpot to its board. With her experience as CEO of TaskRabbit, she should add some much needed tech know-how and diversity of perspective to the retailer.
