Glithero has over 20 years’ experience in senior finance roles, including 11 years at Auto Trader Group, where he held a range of senior finance positions, including chief financial officer.
At Auto Trader, he played a central role in its transition from print to online and its £2.4 billion London Stock Exchange listing.
More recently, Glithero served as chief financial officer of Funding Circle Holdings, a global SME loans platform, where he helped the firm raise £300 million as part of a £1.5 billion London Stock Exchange listing.
Meanwhile, Weston joins Matchesfashion from Amazon, where he spent 15 years in various leadership roles.
Most recently he served as the online retailer’s European special projects director, where he worked with Kavan, who was international special projects vice president before he moved to head up Matchesfashion in March this year.
Weston’s prior stints at Amazon included responsibility for Prime Now, and he also previously spent four years as chief operating officer of online retailer Notonthehighstreet.
“I am very pleased to welcome Sean and Jason to Matchesfashion,” Kavan said.
“They each bring deep expertise in building and scaling online businesses that are customer focused and innovative.
“Sean has over 20 years’ experience of driving transformational online growth, in both private equity-owned and listed businesses.
“Jason has spent the last 20 years developing customer focused online businesses that are underpinned by operational innovation.
“I’m really looking forward to working closely with both of them.”
