Frasers Group bolsters its board in line with growth plans. Effective Feb. 26, Helen Wright, Sergio Rossi’s global CEO, joins as non-executive director. Frasers’ COO David Al-Mudallal and sports MD Ger Wright become executive directors. Sir Jon Thompson, ex-CEO of the Financial Reporting Council, will join later.
“I am pleased to welcome Helen Wright to Frasers and to the board and very much look forward to welcoming Sir Jon later this year. Helen’s experience in driving transformation at global luxury brands, combined with Jon’s expertise in corporate governance and major project management, will help shape the execution of our long-term strategy. In addition, Ger and David have both made enormous contributions to the ongoing success of our strategy, delivering operational excellence and empowering our business to excel. I am confident that their contribution to the board will help drive Frasers Group to new heights and future success.”
Board now with a range of skills
CEO Michael Murray anticipates their expertise to fuel strategy. Wright brings 25 years of luxury brand leadership. Al-Mudallal, pivotal in Frasers’ Elevation Strategy, has ascended from roles since 2017. Ger Wright, with a background at Levi’s and Nike, has focused on sports transformation since 2022.
David Daly, Frasers Group board chair, hails these appointments as a milestone, enriching the board’s diversity and skill set to drive the Elevation Strategy forward. “Much has changed at Frasers over recent years, and today is another significant milestone in our transformation as we welcome new high-caliber individuals to the board. I know that we will benefit from their leadership and expertise. I’m also delighted that their appointments further diversify our board, ensuring that we have the range of skills and views required to enable the future success of the Elevation Strategy.”
