“I am delighted to welcome Matthew to GFG. His broad commercial and international experience makes him an ideal fit. With his track record of working across retail and digital sectors to drive positive change, he is a welcome addition to the team and I am looking forward to working with him. I would like to thank Chrestin for his contributions, passion and leadership over the years and we wish him all the best on both a professional and personal level for this next chapter,” Christoph Barchewitz, Co-CEO, GFG said in a company press release.

“As a leader in e-commerce in the fashion & lifestyle sector in growth markets, GFG is in a strong position. I am very excited about the future of the company and am looking forward to getting started and working with the GFG leadership team on the next phase of GFG’s development,” Price said. “It has been a privilege to work as part of a talented and committed team over the years. Together we have positioned GFG as the leading online fashion and lifestyle destination for our customers and brand partners across our 17 countries of operations – and the opportunity ahead remains tremendous,” Chrestin said.
