Notonthehighstreet, the online marketplace, has announced a change in leadership following the decision of its current CEO to step down.
The company said that Barrie Seidenberg, who has been CEO since April 2018, is stepping down to focus on her health after being diagnosed with brain cancer earlier this year. Seidenberg will be succeeded by Claire Davenport, the former UK head for meal-kit maker HelloFresh, effective 27 August 2019.
In her new role, Davenport will be charged with building the management team’s plans to modernise Notonthehighstreet’s technology platform and strengthen the business’ ecommerce foundations.
Darren Shapland, Chairman of Notonthehighstreet, said: “Barrie has led the transformation of the company over the last 15 months and has significantly increased momentum in the business. Through Barrie’s leadership, the business now has a strong foundation for growth, supported by a skilled leadership team, with experienced additions including a new chief technology officer, chief financial officer and chief product officer. The board would like to thank Barrie for her expert leadership, and we wish her our heartfelt best as she focuses on her health.”
