Asos interim CFO 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 announced that the interim chief financial officer, Katy Mecklenburgh, will step down from her role at the company for the CFO position at Softcat plc. 

It is reported that Mecklenburgh will continue in her current role at Asos for the next six months, which is the agreed terms of her notice period.  

Meanwhile, the online fashion retailer also continues in its search for a new CFO, following Matt Dunn’s departure on 31 October 2022. 

The news comes at a tricky time for the company as lately its growth has stalled, leaving the new chief executive José Antonio Ramos Calamonte, who took charge in June of this year, to revive profits. 

According to Ramos Calamonte, he has vowed to switch up Asos’s “inefficient” supply chain, as well as find a way to re-engage its customer-base of 20-somethings, better leverage its data, cut costs and refresh its culture.
