Global Fashion Group, a multinational company with fashion e-commmerce sites in emerging markets, has hired Matthew Price as new chief financial officer.

Set to join the group, whose stable of brands include The Iconic in Australia and New Zealand, Zalora in South East Asia, Dafiti in Latin America and Lamoda in Russia, later this month, Matthew Price will take over from Nils Chrestin.

Price was most recently chief financial officer of Moneysupermarket and has held key financial roles at Costa Coffee in the UK and Asia, and Sainsbury's.

Christoph Barchewitz, co-CEO of GFG said: “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 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,” Matthew Price added.

The company thanked outgoing CFO Nils Chrestin for his “contributions, passion and leadership over the years”, saying he was instrumental in the development of the business.
