Burberry appoints regional presidents to executive committee

Burberry announces the appointment of its four regional presidents to the company’s Executive Committee. With immediate effect, Claudia Kim, President Asia Pacific; Frank van Loon, President EMEIA; Josie Zhang, President Greater China; and Laura Dubin-Wander, President Americas will join the Committee, reporting to Burberry Chief Executive Officer Joshua Schulman.

In their roles, Burberry’s regional presidents will continue to lead their respective regions while participating in Executive Committee decisions, strategy and operations. The appointments reflect Burberry’s commitment to aligning leadership and decision-making more closely with the customer. This follows Burberry’s decision to remove its vacant Chief Commercial Officer position.

“Today’s announcement recognises the important role Claudia, Frank, Josie and Laura have each had in strengthening our businesses globally and putting the voice of the customer at the heart of every decision we make. Their market insights and deep customer knowledge are invaluable, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with them to drive Burberry Forward.”
