Yoox Net-A-Porter announced that Alison Loehnis has been named interim CEO, effective October 31, 2022, replacing Geoffroy Lefebvre, who is stepping down to pursue a private equity-backed entrepreneurial career outside of Richemont after 11 years with the company.
Loehnis is currently president of Net-A-Porter, Mr Porter and The Outnet. She joined Net-A-Porter in 2007 as vice president of sales and marketing before becoming president of Net-A-Porter in 2011 and assumed her current role following the merger of Net-A-Porter, Mr Porter and The Outnet with Yoox in 2015.
In this interim position, Loehnis will lead Yoox Net-A-Porter until the sale of 47.5 percent and 3.2 percent of YNAP’s share capital to Farfetch and Alabbar, respectively, expected before the end of 2023, at which point the company will appoint an external CEO. During this period, Loehnis will report to Jérôme Lambert, CEO, Richemont.
Lambert said, “We are grateful for Geoffroy’s leadership throughout his career at Richemont. During his time at Yoox Net-A-Porter, he launched innovations such as the Yoox Marketplace and built new capabilities on which the company will continue to grow. On behalf of the Group, I would like to wish Geoffroy all the best in his future endeavors. I would also like to express my support and gratitude for Alison as she steps into this interim role. A long-time champion of our customers, Alison is a passionate leader who will continue to steer the business and its talented teams as Yoox Net-A-Porter enters an exciting new chapter.”
