Asos COO and CFO Mat Dunn to step down

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.

Asos has revealed that its chief operating officer (COO) and chief financial officer (CFO), Mat Dunn, will step down from his roles as the company restructures its executive team.

Having agreed a phased plan, Dunn will continue in his role and as a member of the board until at least 31 October 2022, and will remain employed until the end of the year to provide transitional support. 

Dunn joined the board of Asos in April 2019 as CFO before taking on the additional role of COO in October 2021.

A process is underway to appoint a new CFO, and Asos said a further announcement will be made in due course.

Jørgen Lindemann, ASOS chairman, said: “I would like to thank Mat for the enormous contribution he has made to Asos over the past three years, and in particular during his time as interim CEO. 

“Mat has worked tirelessly to ensure that Asos has been able to make continued strategic progress, despite the prevailing market conditions which have existed since the global pandemic. We wish him well in the next chapter of his career.”

Dunn added: “I have very much enjoyed my time at Asos. We have achieved a lot over the last three years and the business is stronger as a result and I am sure will go on to great success.

“I am looking forward to my next challenge, but I will continue to follow what is happening at Asos and I wish the board, José and the rest of the team all the best for the future.”
