Retail apparel group Universal Store has appointed Ethan Orsini as its new chief financial officer.
Orsini has worked at apparel and lifestyle business Super Retail Group for over 15 years, most recently as the GM of group omni fulfilment. Prior roles held at SRG (ASX:SUL) include interim managing director of BCF, and group financial controller.
SRG is the holding company of sporting brand Rebel, as well as lifestyle businesses BCF and Supercheap Auto.
His appointment follows the resignation of outgoing CFO Renee Jones who will leave the group following the release of the full year financial results.
“The Board and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Renee – she will be missed on a personal and professional level by so many of our team,” Universal Store CEO and managing director Alice Barbery said. “We are understanding and supportive of her decision to prioritise her young family. We thank her sincerely for her significant contribution over the years and wish her and her family all the best.
“She will remain a friend of our group and many of our team.
“We are also pleased to welcome Ethan to the Universal Store team. I look forward to working with him and am optimistic about the value his fresh eyes and deep and broad experience can bring to our organisation.”
Orsini will commence on August 5, following a long handover period with Jones.
