Clarks UK managing director and chief product officer depart

Clarks UK and Ireland managing director Bob Neville and chief product officer Victoria Jones have left the business.

The departures come as chief executive Jonathan Ram stepped down last month to “pursue other opportunities”, Drapers reported.

Neville joined Clarks last July to head up its UK and Ireland operations after spending the last 30 years based in Hong Kong.

Prior to Clarks, he was the global vice president of retail at Under Armour since 2021 and global head of retail at New Balance from 2008 to 2019.

Jones leaves the footwear retailer after more than six years, having joined in March 2018 as head of retail marketing for UK and Europe and taking several roles before becoming chief product and merchandising officer in 2021.

The pair’s departures follow the news CEO Ram had left the business after two years. Clarks chairman Colin Li and other directorshas formed an interim executive committee to lead the business until a replacement is found.
