N Brown appoints new COO to support digital transformation

N Brown Group has today announced the appointment of Nuno Miller as its new Digital Chief Operating Officer (COO) to help to drive the group’s digital transformation across its brands, which include JD Williams, Jacamo and Simply Be.

Joining the group this month, Miller’s new role will include leading the development of the company’s front-end websites, which are set to replace current customer facing sites as part of the company’s refreshed strategy announced in June 2020.

The introduction of the new websites will be “an important step on N Brown’s technology roadmap”, as it moves away from the legacy web technology stack, improves stability and accelerates the pace of future change.

Miller was previously Chief Digital and Information Officer at Sonae Fashion, and prior to that he was Chief Information Officer at Farfetch.

N Brown Group CEO, Steve Johnson, said: “I am delighted to welcome Nuno to N Brown. He brings a wealth of relevant experience from across the industry and his passion for agile methodologies and mindset is perfectly suited to how we work. I look forward to working with him as we execute our technology roadmap and deliver our strategy of creating an improved experience for our customers.”

Miller added: “I am very excited to be joining N Brown, a business that I have respected for many years as a truly inclusive retailer. I’m looking forward to working with the team to drive the group’s digital transformation and improve its customers’ digital experience.”
