Matalan has named the former M&S chief digital and technology officer, Jeremy Pee, as its new non-executive director.
Pee has over 20 years of experience in retail, five of which was spent most recently at M&S as its chief technology officer where he was responsible for the group’s digital transformation.
He also led the overhaul of M&S’ digital capabilities, which turned stores into hubs for click-and-collect purchases and installed digital screens that allow customers to return clothing.
Prior to his time at M&S, Pee held roles at solutions company Loblaw Digital, where he established the online division, and also Staples, where he managed the profit and loss of its largest category.
Karl Heinz Holland, chair of Matalan, said: “Jeremy brings deep retail experience and unparalleled expertise in digital and technological transformation. I know both will prove hugely valuable as we refine and deliver Matalan’s omnichannel strategy to serve families better.
“We look forward to working with Jeremy as we continue to transform the business.”
Pee added: “Matalan is a stalwart of British retailing, with a rich heritage operating in a market with strong growth opportunities. I look forward to working with the board and the executive team to unlock the full potential of digital and omnichannel retailing to build a stronger, more modern Matalan.”
