Harrods names Geoff Weaver its new CFO
Harrods announced on Friday that it its new chief financial officer has joined, taking up one of the key leadership roles in the business, with Geoff Weaver now in charge of finance at the luxury London department store.
The retailer said he brings more than two decades of 'financial leadership experience across multinational environments', although that doesn't mean he's a retail specialist, nor a luxury one.
In fact, he joins from TUI Group, the travel business, where he's held senior finance roles since 2011, most recently serving as finance director for TUI Markets & Airlines, the group's largest division. Prior to this, he spent over six years at KPMG within its audit function.
Harrods MD Michael Ward hailed his 'commercial acumen, digital expertise, and people-first leadership' that he said 'will be instrumental as we continue to evolve our business and reinforce our authority in luxury across all categories and channels'.
He replaces his predecessor with immediate effect as former CFO Tim Parker — who's been in the role since 2022 — left the company last month to pursue other opportunities.
As mentioned, the Harrods business continues to evolve and Weaver's arrival comes after the giant Knightsbridge store opened its latest revamped physical space with the unveiling of Designer Collections – Room 3 (DC3). This latest addition to its womenswear portfolio is said to be 'the next chapter in the evolution of the first floor — a cornerstone of the wider Harrods Masterplan, the store's ambitious multi-year transformation of the customer experience'.
