Quiz CFO to step down

On this episode of Talking Shop, we're joined by Dan Cate, CEO and Founder of SoldThrough. Dan is a heavyweight retail executive who has spent decades steering the merchandising and digital operations of America’s most iconic retail institutions, from Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s to Century 21 and Lord & Taylor. Today, through his platform SoldThrough, Dan helps international fashion brands cross the Atlantic and crack the notoriously brutal U.S. retail landscape. We break down his journey from the shop floor to the C-suite, the operational indicators that prove a brand is truly ready for international expansion, and how to navigate a fragmented American market without destroying your margins. We also discuss how to balance localised inventory with central efficiency, and the one non-negotiable metric that tells you a product has found genuine market fit.

Quiz has announced that Gerard Sweeney has informed the board of his intention to step down from his role as chief financial officer and company secretary.

Sweeney will depart after more than eight years at the omnichannel fashion brand. 

According to Quiz, the recruitment process to find Sweeney’s successor has started and it will share an update “in due course”. 

In the meantime, Sweeney has agreed to remain with the group until 31 March 2025 to enable a smooth transition of responsibilities to his successor. 

Sheraz Ramzan, CEO of Quiz, said: “On behalf of everyone at Quiz I would like to thank Gerry for his commitment and valued input over the past eight years. 

“Whilst Gerry will continue in his role over the coming months while we search for a successor, we wish him the very best in his future endeavours.”

Sweeney added: “After more than eight years in the role, I felt that now is the right time to step back and consider new opportunities. I firmly believe in Quiz’s turnaround potential under Sheraz’s leadership, and that the business will return to profitable growth. 

“It has been a pleasure to work with the rest of the Board and broader Quiz team since 2016. I remain fully committed to the business over the coming months and ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities in due course.”
