MATCHESFASHION has named Dave Murray, former senior Vice President of finance at Farfetch, as its new CFO.

Murray will be joining the global luxury retailer this autumn replacing Sean Glithero, who is taking a career break.

Murray brings 20 years of experience in the luxury and retail sectors and spent three years at Farfetch, where he worked alongside its CFO. Prior to Farfetch he held senior finance roles with Amazon and Sainsbury’s.

Former COO of Sofology and CFO of The Vet Group, Harvey Ainley, will take over as interim CFO until Murray joins the business.

Murray’s appointment follows that of Prenisha Harry, who has joined as HR Director. She was previously with jewellery brand Pandora and, prior to that, with Zara parent Inditex.
