Nadine Merabi eyes 'further growth' as it refreshes leadership following CEO exit

Following the departure of CEO Jacobo Hachuel, Nadine Merabi teases that it is entering 2026 with "further growth plans, an invigorated team and exciting new collections".

Hachuel, who joined the Manchester-based brand in November 2024 from sustainable fashion innovator Pangaia, played a key role in strengthening operations and expanding the brand’s presence across the UK, US and Europe. His appointment came during a milestone year for the brand - its 10th anniversary - following a record-breaking 2024 that saw annual revenues near the £40 million mark.

During his tenure, Hachuel helped streamline global operations, enhance retail partnerships, and build on the brand's growing international momentum. His leadership focused on translating the brand’s distinct blend of glamour and empowerment into scalable global success.

Founder Nadine Merabi told TheIndustry.fashion: "Under Jacobo’s leadership, Merabi has achieved significant growth and development, seen an uplift in retail partnerships and improved operational performance in the UK, USA and Europe. After guiding the business through a successful phase of growth and transformation, Jacobo has decided to pursue his next professional chapter.

"We are looking forward to an exciting year of newness for Merabi in 2026, having celebrated our 10-year milestone and significant business progress. We are set to come into the year with further growth plans, an invigorated team, and exciting new collections. Watch this space."
