Loehnis will lead until the completion of the sale of 47.5% and 3.2% of YNAP’s share capital to Farfetch and Alabbar
Yoox Net-a-Porter has announced it has appointed Alison Loehnis as interim CEO, effective 31 October 2022, replacing Geoffroy Lefebvre who has decided to step down to pursue a private equity-backed entrepreneurial career outside of Richemont after 11 years with the group.
Loehnis is currently president of the company, having joined in 2007 as vice president of sales and marketing, before becoming president in 2011.
In this interim position, she will lead until the completion of the sale of 47.5% and 3.2% of YNAP’s share capital to Farfetch and Alabbar, respectively, expected before the end of 2023, at which point an external CEO will be appointed.
During this period, Loehnis will report to Jérôme Lambert, CEO of Richemont.
Lambert said: “We are grateful for Geoffroy’s leadership throughout his career at Richemont. During his time at Yoox Net-a-Porter, he launched innovations such as the Yoox Marketplace and built new capabilities on which the Company will continue to grow.
“On behalf of the Group, I would like to wish Geoffroy all the best for his future endeavours. I would also like to express my support and gratitude for Alison as she steps into this interim role. A long-time champion of our customers, Alison is a passionate leader who will continue to steer the business and its talented teams as Yoox Net-a-Porter enters an exciting new chapter.”
