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.

The chairman of Asos, Adam Crozier is reportedly planning on jumping ship over to BT to take up the same role at the company, according to The Sunday Times.

The appointment follows the decision by BT to roll out “full-fibre broadband” to 25 million premises by 2026, having received “favourable terms” in March from the industry regulator Ofcom.

He took on his position as chair at Asos in 2018 and has helped guide the online retailer as it continued to grow in recent years.

Crozier first came to light as a corporate leader at Saatchi and Saatchi, and since went on to become joint head of the advertising agency after its founding brothers left to start a rival group.

He subsequently went on to be chief executive of the Football Association, where he hired Sven-Goran Eriksson as the England manager, and eventually became the chief executive of Royal Mail.
