Board changes
The Board of ASOS announces that after 15 years in the role, the
founder of the Company Nick Robertson is to stand down as Chief
Executive Officer and is to remain with the Company as a
non-executive director. The Board also announces the appointment of
Nick Beighton as Chief Executive Officer of the Company in
succession to Nick Robertson. These changes take effect
immediately.
Nick Beighton joined ASOS in April of 2009 as Chief Financial
Officer and has since worked closely with Nick Robertson on the
growth of the Company. In October last year, Nick Beighton was
appointed Chief Operating Officer, widening his management
responsibilities beyond finance. In April the Company announced the
appointment of Helen Ashton as Chief Financial Officer, succeeding
Nick Beighton in the role. Helen started with the Company
yesterday.
Brian McBride, Chairman of ASOS said:
"On behalf of everyone who works at ASOS, I'd like to
acknowledge Nick Robertson's extraordinary achievement. His passion
and vision have built a start-up into a world class company. We are
all delighted that Nick will continue to contribute to the Company
that he started.
We are fortunate to have such an able successor for the CEO role
in Nick Beighton. Nick has unique experience of the Company built
over six years, equipping him to drive ASOS along its growth
trajectory to become the world's leading online fashion retailer
for 20 - somethings".
