ASOS appoints new CFO as it eyes 'long-term strategic growth'

ASOS has appointed Aaron Izzard as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Executive Director, succeeding Dave Murray, who is stepping down "to pursue other opportunities".

Izzard was most recently Director of Group Finance at ASOS and brings more than two decades of experience in senior finance roles across the retail and e-commerce industry. He will begin his new role on 1 July 2025. Murray will remain with the company for a short handover period.

José Antonio Ramos Calamonte, CEO at ASOS, said: "Now is the time to further strengthen our focus on delivering sustainable, profitable growth and better customer experiences.

"Aaron has a strong track record of delivering operational efficiency and strategic thinking which will be key to continuing our successful transformation. I am confident that his experience and skills will be a great asset as CFO in the next phase of our journey.

"Dave has played an important role in helping lay the foundations for the next phase of our journey, having successfully overseen our refinancing and stock reduction. We are a significantly stronger and more resilient business than when he joined and I would like to express my sincerest appreciation on behalf of all ASOSers."

ASOS Chair, Jørgen Lindemann, added: "I am pleased to welcome Aaron to the board as Chief Financial Officer. We have been impressed with his ability to drive change at speed and are excited to see him continue the great work he has been doing, with his deep knowledge of ASOS' operations.

"This transition underscores ASOS' commitment to long-term strategic execution and value creation."
