Naked Wines CFO departs amid sales warning

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. 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.

Naked Wines has announced that Shawn Tabak, chief financial officer and director, has left the company by mutual decision, effective July 22, 2022.

James Crawford has been appointed on an interim basis through to June 2023. He previously served as CFO from April 2015 to November 2020, and will combine this interim role with his responsibilities as managing director.

The company added the Board position being vacated by Tabak will not be filled at this time.

The news comes after Naked Wines took a £350m sales hit in the last year.

Nick Devlin, chief executive officer, said: “I would like to thank Shawn for his efforts on behalf of Naked and personally for his support and partnership. Shawn’s experience in leading finance organisations in high-growth U.S. environments has been valuable.

“During his time at the company we have achieved significant growth which we have consolidated in our most recently completed fiscal year. I’m delighted to be able to call on James, a highly accomplished executive with unmatched knowledge of the business and value creation model to return to the CFO role on an interim basis. I would like to thank Shawn and James for having worked closely together to effect a smooth transition.”
