ASOS CTO exits after nine years
ASOS Chief Technology Officer Clifford Cohen has announced his departure after nine years at the online business.
Cohen first joined ASOS as Chief Technology Officer in May 2015, having previously worked as Head of Business Solutions and later Interim CIO at Marks & Spencer until 2015.
In a statement on LinkedIn, Cohen said: "After nine amazing years I have made the difficult decision to leave ASOS and move onto my next challenge. It has been an absolute pleasure and honour to lead the tech team at ASOS and I couldn’t be prouder of the team we have today and what we have achieved.
"I would like to thank my entire technology team. I would also like to thank Jose Antonio Ramos, Nick Beighton and Nick Robertson for all their support and friendship over the years.
"I will be starting a new and exciting challenge in the renewable energy sector at the start of August."
It comes after ASOS appointed Hugh Williams as Interim EVP for Technology, bringing advisory experience from a variety of companies including Moonpig, Doordash and Trainline.
José Antonio Ramos Calamonte, CEO of ASOS, said: "After nine fantastic years, Cliff Cohen has taken the decision to leave ASOS and departs with our deepest gratitude and best wishes.
"We were delighted to welcome Hugh Williams as interim EVP, technology, on 17 June. Hugh has extensive experience across major global technology companies such as Microsoft, eBay, and Google, and has acted as an adviser to ASOS over the past 18 months on our technology and digital product strategy."
