Bonobos co-founder Andy Dunn is returning to the retailer as brand advisor as the company looks to get back to its roots after it was sold by Walmart earlier this year, Bonobos and new parent company WHP Global announced Friday.
WHP Global and Express Inc., which runs the Express brand, bought Bonobos from Walmart in a $75 million deal that was announced in April and closed last month.
Walmart originally bought Bonobos in 2017 for $310 million while it was working to grow its online presence under former e-commerce president Marc Lore.
Under WHP Global, Bonobos can expand internationally, he said.
While Walmart sold Bonobos for a significant discount compared to what it paid, the acquisition wasn't necessarily a losing one for Walmart.
