• Out of fashion? In more retail news, Nordstrom says it will stop selling Ivanka Trump items this season. While the move follows boycotts by some shoppers who are angered by her father, President Donald Trump, and his White House policies, the retailer says its decision is based on the brand's sales performance. Fortune • 3 out of 8 ain't bad. Trump is meeting with eight CEOs today to discuss issues such a taxes, regulation, and women in the workforce. Three women—PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi, IBM's Ginni Rometty, and GM's Mary Barra made the list. Interestingly, however, both of the chiefs slated to speak about women in the workforce are men. WSJ • Friedman's fight. When Nasdaq Inc. named Adena Friedman CEO in November, she won attention for being young, tech-savvy and the first woman to lead a major U.S. stock exchange. Now, it's up to the 47-year-old (who happens to have a black belt in taekwondo) to differentiate the exchange from its competition (NYSE being its fiercest rival) and keep it relevant altogether. Friedman plans to keep pursuing her predecessor's strategy of diversifying away from the stocks business into financial technology. WSJ • Hall heads out. The National Association of Black Journalists is accusing NBC of "whitewashing" after the network announced that anchor Tamron Hall is leaving the Today show, as well as her MSNBC program. Her exit comes several months after her original Today co-star Billy Bush left the show and less than a week after the network revealed that it would scrap it's current 9 a.m. hour to make room for Megyn Kelly's forthcoming morning show. People • Social graces. Natalie Jones is reportedly a leading candidate to be President Trump's new social secretary, a position that reports to the first lady. Jones' background would make her an interesting pick: She was appointed deputy chief of protocol at the State Department by President Obama in 2011 (she resigned last month) and was previously a finance director at the DNC and for Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign. According to the Washington Post, her selection would "signal that Melania Trump is willing to turn to political veterans, and not just those in the tight New York circle that the Trumps inhabit, to steer her tenure in Washington." Washington Post • Global gabfest. This week on Broad Strokes, I'm joined by Claire Zillman, Fortune's London correspondent and author of our global newsletter, World's Most Powerful Women. We talk Sheryl Sandberg, Pew research on women in the workplace, and Theresa May. Fortune MOVERS AND SHAKERS: Gina Haspel has been named deputy director of CIA.
