The John Lewis Partnership has announced the appointment of Lisa Cherry as its executive director for people.
Starting September, Cherry will be joining the Partnership from the Post Office, where she is currently serving as group chief people officer.
She has also previously worked in senior roles within Sainsbury’s, WHSmith and Wyevale Garden Centres. Cherry’s early career was spent in customer facing operational roles before joining the Sainsbury’s Graduate Scheme.
Cherry will be tasked with developing and delivering the people strategy for the Partnership’s partners, with a proposition that rewards and develops their position.
She will be succeeding Nikki Humphery, who will be leaving the company to rejoin Virgin as the group’s chief people officer.
