Guzzetta departed his job as CEO of the Macy’s North division on February 29, as the Cincinnati-based retailer restructured itself nationally and cut more than 900 jobs locally. Minneapolis lost an ardent booster of downtown retail in the process. At 62, he isn’t necessarily ready to retire. Guzzetta, a former Peace Corps volunteer, has said he’s considering launching a specialty retail business that would help the world’s developing economies.
