Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Asos is reportedly considering Andrew Robb, who left New York-listed Farfetch in 2020, among the candidates being considered by Asos as Nick Beighton’s successor, according to Sky News.

Robb worked with Farfetch until 2020 in the position of chief operating officer. Prior to that, he worked with Bauer Media where he founded and became managing director of the Cocosa flash sale fashion ecommerce business.

It comes after Asos announced in October that Beighton would be stepping down from the role after 12 years with the business.

The company is currently being led on a day-to-day basis by its former chief financial officer Mat Dunn who has taken on the additional role of chief operating officer.

Sky News said Robb was among ‘a number of candidates’ for the Asos job, with the company potentially disclosing Beighton’s replacement in April.
