Wills will join the Superdry board as an executive director at the end of April 2021. Benedict Smith will remain as interim CFO over the coming months to ensure an orderly handover between himself and Wills. Details of Wills’ remuneration package, which is in line with the shareholder approved Remuneration policy, will be set out in the next directors’ remuneration report, Superdry said.
“After a thorough process to identify a new CFO, led by our independent director Alastair Miller, Wills emerged as the outstanding candidate for the role. Over the past three years, he has gained experience as a finance director at the very highest level in retail at M&S, and he knows our brand and business well. This will be invaluable as we emerge from the challenges of COVID-19 and accelerate the reset of Superdry,” Julian Dunkerton, chief executive officer of Superdry said in a press release by the company.
“I am delighted to be returning to Superdry, a world class brand which I am really passionate about. This is a great opportunity to work with the board, Dunkerton and all the team to accelerate the reset of the business and restore Superdry to its rightful position as a leading global brand,” Wills said.
