Former Farfetch executive being considered for ASOS CEO role
Online fashion retailer ASOS is understood to be considering a former Farfetch executive for the role of chief executive.
According to Sky News, Andrew Robb is one of a number of potential candidates who are in the mix to succeed Nick Beighton.
ASOS announced in October that Beighton would be stepping down from the role after 12 years with the business. The company is currently being led on a day-to-day basis by its former chief financial officer Mat Dunn who has taken on the additional role of chief operating officer. In the meantime, its director of group finance Katy Mecklenburgh has become interim chief financial officer.
Robb worked with Farfetch until 2020 in the position of chief operating officer. Prior to that, he worked with Bauer Media where he founded and became managing director of the Cocosa flash sale fashion ecommerce business. He also previously spent three years as head of motors and category development at eBay.
