Burberry seeks new CMO as Rod Manley exits

Burberry’s chief marketing officer Rod Manley is leaving the company. Previously the executive vice president for Calvin Klein in New York, Manley joined Burberry in January 2019, initially reporting to then-CEO Marco Gobbetti and currently to Jonathan Akeroyd, who took over in 2021. During his six-year tenure, Manley worked with former creative director Riccardo Tisci for three years before partnering with the current chief creative officer, Daniel Lee. Manley’s departure coincides with Burberry’s declining profits, as the brand warned in January that its full-year results would be below previous guidance following a 7% sales drop to $882.5 million (£706 million) in the 13 weeks to 30 December 2022. The company has begun searching for his replacement.
