WOOLWORTHS has scored a major coup in re-hiring Penny Winn, who has resigned from Myer Holdings.

 Ms Winn, a highly regraded Woolworths executive, had been earmarked by offshore partner Wal-Mart for key executive roles in the company.

In a recent note, former Woolies finance chief Bill Wavish lauded Ms Winn "as one of the most accomplished senior executives" in the retailer.

She is re-joining Woolies just as Michael Luscombe is leaving, and new boss Grant O'Brien takes over.

Myer will replace Ms Winn with existing executives Judy Coomber and Adam Stapleton.
