Renaissance is pleased to announce that AlexandAlexa, the European online retailer of luxury brands for children, has appointed Justine Rouch as its new CFO, and Elisabeth Ling as its new VP Digital.
Having
recently secured a substantial new funding round, the business has recruited
both Justine and Elisabeth to help lead them through a forecasted period of
rapid international expansion.
A seasoned
CFO, Justine brings with her over ten years’ experience in senior positions
within the retail and fashion space. In her previous position, she served as
both CFO and later COO at luxury fashion house Matthew Williamson; and prior to
this held senior finance roles at sportswear giant Reebok.
Accompanying
Justine on the leadership team, Elisabeth joins as VP Digital and will assume
responsibility for developing and delivering a new international digital
strategy for the brand.
With a
proven track record of success within both start-up and corporate internet
environments, Elisabeth brings with her more than 15 years online, product and
Ecommerce knowledge and leadership. Elisabeth joins direct from TalkTalk where
she held responsibility for their consumer digital strategies. Prior to this
she held senior positions within established consumer brands such as eBay, PayPal
and Roche.
The
appointment of Justine and Elisabeth follows on the heels of the appointment of
Osvaldo Spadano as CTO in November 2011.
Commenting
on the recent hires, Founder and CEO Alex Theophanous said: “Following our
major fundraise in 2011, Renaissance were appointed to help us recruit our key
leadership team, across Technology, Marketing, Finance and Operations. We now
have three A star candidates in place, which is a testament to their key
networks in e-Commerce and Retail. I’m very impressed, and would recommend
Renaissance to others”
