ASOS has appointed Aaron Izzard as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Executive Director, part of the company’s decision to accelerate its strategy for long-term growth. Izzard succeeds Dave Murray, who has agreed to step down to pursue new opportunities but remains through a short transition period.
Izzard was previously Director of Group Finance at ASOS, he has more than 20 years of experience in senior finance roles in retail and e-commerce, and the decision to promote him reiterates ASOS’ commitment to develop leaders internally and ensure operational continuity.
ASOS CEO, José Antonio Ramos Calamonte, said, “Aaron is very well-positioned to help us move into the next phase given his experience in operational efficiency and importance of strategic thinking,” he added, highlighting the work of Dave Murray in leading ASOS through a refinancing process and improving inventory levels.
ASOS Chair Jørgen Lindemann welcomed Izzard to the board, declaring that he had a firm understanding of the company and a strong track record for delivering swift and effective change.
The appointment also demonstrates ASOS’ commitment to sustainable, fair and profitable growth and improved customer experience as ASOS continues its transformation.
