The RealReal announced that Robert Julian will step down as chief financial officer, effective January 31, 2024, or when the company finds his replacement. At that time, Julian will continue as an employee and serve as an executive advisor to the fashion resale platform through January 31, 2024. 

To assist in the transition, Julian agreed to provide limited consulting services to The RealReal following his termination of employment from February 1, 2024 until June 30, 2024. The company’s Board of Directors will retain an executive search firm to commence a search process to identify a new CFO.

The company’s CEO, John Koryl, commented, “Robert and I have worked closely together since my arrival as CEO earlier this year, and I have deeply appreciated his counsel and leadership. We wish Robert success in his future endeavors. As we announced last quarter, we remain committed to our key initiatives and believe we are on the right path.”

“It has been a great pleasure to serve as CFO of The RealReal over the past two years,” said Julian. “I have the utmost confidence in the brand, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with one of the most dedicated teams in the luxury resale industry.”
