Spanish fashion brand Mango has appointed Toni Ruiz as its new CEO.
Ruiz, who has been credited with leading Mango’s transformation in
recent years, has been on its board of directors since joining the company
as chief financial officer in 2015. In 2018, he was promoted to general
manager.
“With this decision, the owners of Mango are recognising and
strengthening the leadership role exercised by Toni Ruiz in the
transformation of the company, which it will need to continue in the coming
years,” Mango said in a statement.
Prior to joining Mango, Ruiz spent much of his career at home
improvement and gardening retailer Leroy Merlin, part of the Adeo group,
where he was most recently chief financial officer for the brand in
Spain.
Following the appointment, Ruiz will occupy the top executive position
at Mango. Founder of the brand, Isak Andic, will continue to chair the
board of directors, which also includes director of expansion and
franchises Daniel López, and director of Mango Man, image and
communication, Jonathan Andic.
Founded in 1984, Mango now has a store network spanning 110 countries.
The Barcelona-based company closed the 2018 financial year with sales of
2.2 billion euros.
