“Faber’s appointment is a very exciting and important next step in this new era for Dafiti. As the demand for e-commerce and more online consumer categories continues to accelerate, his extensive knowledge of the local market, deep connection to the LATAM consumer and expansive network, will be invaluable in taking Dafiti into this next chapter. I am very excited to have Farber join our team,” Christoph Barchewitz, co-CEO of Global Fashion Group, said in a press release.

Dafiti’s vision and purpose to revolutionise the online fashion ecosystem, is something I connect to on both a professional and personal level. The positive impact Dafiti has across its four operational countries, 8 million active customers and a team of over 3,000, as well as cooperating with its brand partners, is impressive. I’m really looking forward to working with the team on maximising this positive impact,” Andre Farber, incoming Dafiti CEO, added.
 
Ar Boticario Group, Farber served as the company’s vice president, responsible for retail operations, brand and product development, channel strategy and commercial relationships. Throughout his 11-year tenure at Boticario Group, Farber was involved in transforming Boticario from a mono brand, mono channel company to a multi brand, multi-channel business and ultimately, growing Boticario Group into one of the biggest cosmetic companies in Brazil.
