Asos poaches new finance chief from debt manager Capquest
FASHION giant Asos said yesterday it has ended a six-month search for a new chief financial officer after poaching Helen Ashton from debt management business Capquest.
Ashton will join the online retailer in September, replacing Nick Beighton who has already moved into his new position as chief operating officer.
Ashton [pictured left] was finance director at Lloyds Banking Group before joining Capquest in 2012 and has also held senior roles at Barclaycard and Asda.
Asos chief executive Nick Robertson said: “Helen brings an unusual combination of deep financial experience, combined with her track record in consumer facing and retail businesses.”
