As it continues to focus on its turnaround, Burberry names regional chiefs to exec committee
It also follows the decision to remove its vacant chief commercial officer position.
The four president are all highly experienced execs. Before joining Burberry in 2018, Kim was GM at Bluebell Korea where she managed a portfolio of luxury fashion group brands within LVMH.
And van Loon, who joined in 2020, had been VP EMEIA at Tom Ford as well as having held senior leadership roles at Brunello Cucinelli.
Zhang has been with Burberry since 2016 and previously served as regional director at Christian Dior Couture.
And Dubin-Wander, who's only been with the firm since last year, was the CEO of OTB Designer Brands, Americas. She's also held senior leadership roles at Coach and Christian Dior Couture.
Schulman said that the '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'.

Burberry launches campaign for next month's Chinese Valentine's Day
China's a major focus for Burberry and remains a key part of the London fashion house's ongoing comeback. So it's no surprise its latest campaign targets its youth market and in particular Chinese Valentine 's Day on 29 August. Called 'Love, unexpected', the campaign's accompanied by a special capsule collection which features a 'knot' concept, co-created with professors and students from Donghua University. In addition to celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day, the partnership also 'revitalises traditional handicrafts in the context of a modern fashion collection'. So the central emblem is inspired by knotting, 'a time-honoured craft in Chinese culture that carries many positive meanings and values'. The embroidered knot therefore features on a range of products, including T-shirts, cotton poplin shirts and shorts, as well as scarves made in Italian-woven silk. The wider campaign focus unites Burberry's 'expertise as a global luxury brand' with Donghua University's 'strengths in fashion education', with the partnership 'empower[ing] the next generation of Chinese creative talent by presenting them with a real industry brief that enhances both their creative and commercial skills'. Burberry's relationship with Donghua University stems from its partnership with the Shanghai Youth Development Foundation where it's one of the participating universities supported by the Burberry Youth Entrepreneurship Fund. 'We believe in the power of nurturing young creative talent. This initiative underscores our commitment to empowering youth, providing not only theoretical knowledge but also hands-on experience and insights crucial for shaping the future of fashion and luxury', said the house.
