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.

JD Sports is reportedly set to announce the appointment of a top executive from BGL Group as its new CFO later this week. 

According to Sky News, the retailer has finalised the appointment of Dominic Platt as its new finance chief, completing the overhaul of its executive team. 

He will replace Neil Greenhalgh in the role, who joined the company in 2004 and has been CFO since 2018.

Sky said it understands that Platt has handed in his notice at BGL, where he is currently CFO, with his appointment at JD Sports likely to be confirmed in the coming days.

He will join Regis Schultz, the new CEO of JD Sports, on the executive team, with the pair previously working together at French retailer Darty. 

Schultz was announced as the group’s new CEO last August, while Andrew Higginson was named as its new chair last July. 

JD Sports declined to comment further.
