What happened
This month's people moves have been dominated by a game of musical chairs in the sportswear industry, with Puma leading the way. As the company looks to establish itself as a top-three global sports brand, it has made no fewer than three new executive hires. Meanwhile, Lululemon has appointed a new CEO, JD Sports' Chair has departed the company, and Rapha has appointed a new board member.
Why it matters
Yet this does not mean that the rest of the industry hasn't seen its fair share of leadership changes. From Ganni's and The White Company's CEOs leaving, to new appointments at Debenhams, John Lewis and Patagonia, a lot has happened in April.
TheIndustry.fashion highlights the most notable appointments, spanning roles from CEOs and commercial leadership to creative directors and finance positions.
