Mintz, a former food company executive, joined the company last year. He was appointed to the company by Lion Capital, a London private-equity firm. Dov Charney, founder of American Apparel, was fired in December due to misconduct. Mintz then became a director, but only stayed with the company for less than a year.
The business stated in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that Mintz had resigned earlier this month, declining to comment on his motive for exiting.
Lion Capital controls one board seat due to warrants purchased in exchange for a stake in the American Apparel company. As a replacement, Jeff Chang from Lion Capital is set to start at American Apparel. In regards to career changes, Paula Schneider started as the company’s new CEO this year as well.
