Harrods appoints new chief financial officer
Harrods has appointed Tim Parker as its new chief financial officer as the luxury department store continues the road to recovery after the Covid pandemic.
Parker will join the business after a ten-year stint at Jardin Matheson, a Hong Kong-based and London-listed conglomerate. Over the past decade, Parker held a range of senior finance leadership positions across Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Harrods’ former CFO, John Edgar, left the business in 2017 after serving the company for five years.
Michael Ward, managing director at Harrods, said: “As we continue to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and look towards the future, it is more important than ever to have the right talent in place to guide us through the next stage of our business strategy.
“We are delighted to welcome Tim to Harrods. I know the business will gain hugely from his leadership and extensive experience in a fast-moving market, and I look forward to working closely with him.”
