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.

Boohoo has announced the appointment of John Goold to its board as an independent non-executive director.

Goold will become chairman of the Audit Committee and he will also be a member of the Nomination, Remuneration and Risk committees.

He began his career by qualifying as a chartered accountant in 1996 with Touche Ross, now known as Deloitte, in London. He has advised public companies for over 25 years, with significant experience across corporate finance and corporate broking having co-founded Arden Partners, before joining Zeus Capital as chief executive officer.

Goold is currently CEO of Kelso Group Holdings plc and non-executive director of Oncimmune Holdings plc.

Mahmud Kamani, group executive chairman, said: “John has deep operational and advisory experience at Board level gained over an extensive career that has seen him found, run and support businesses across a variety of sectors. He is held in very high regard throughout the public markets and we look forward to benefiting from his insight and rigour both as a non-executive director and as chairman of the audit committee.

“John will strengthen the board and be a great asset. With a well-balanced and high-quality set of executive and non-executive directors we are in a strong position as we set about achieving our ambition to be the global fashion leader.”
