N Brown Group appoints new chief people officer

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.

N Brown Group, the fashion and homeware digital retailer, has appointed Natalie Rogers as the business’ new chief people officer.

Rogers will lead the People function and team, with a focus on fully embedding the group’s agile operating model as it continues an enterprise wide agile transformation across all relevant colleagues.

The brand said she brings with her more than 25 years of extensive cross-sector experience – including digital, tech and financial services – in a breadth of HR disciplines covering organisational culture, employee relations, leadership development, reward and organisational design.

Most recently, Rogers supported the delivery of key strategic and complex business and culture transformation programmes as chief people officer at Moonpig.com and Unum UK (employee benefits provider). Prior to this she held a number of senior strategic roles at Canada Life and LV= insurers.

Rogers will commence her new role on 1 February 2024 and will join the N Brown executive board, reporting directly to N Brown’s Group CEO, Steve Johnson.

Johnson said: “I’m delighted to welcome Natalie to N Brown and further strengthen our executive board. Natalie’s expertise will help continue our group-wide agile transformation and ensure N Brown remains a great place to work.”

Rogers added: “I’m thrilled to join N Brown – renowned for its commitment to inclusivity, innovation, and customer satisfaction. I look forward to working with Steve and the Executive team to build on the company’s continued success, and championing a dynamic, supportive workplace culture that empowers our talented colleagues.”
