It comes after she confirmed back in February she would be leaving If Only parent Elegant after seven years, and follows James Herbert’s transition into a new chief commercial transformation officer in July.
In her new role, she will oversee product and operational strategy at Audley, relationships with suppliers across commercial, operational, product and ESG – environmental, social and governance factors, and optimising buying and contracting processes.
