The appointment was confirmed by Marks & Spencer CEO Stuart Machin. In a LinkedIn contribution, he said that Tatum would work for the company from October 2025. Your familiarization begins with operations in the branches and in the distribution centers.
Machin, who had previously worked with Tatum, described her leadership style as “very practical and collaborative”. He added: “In the coming years we have a lot to transform M&S and in particular the relationship with our customers: inside and employees: to strengthen inside.”
Tatum follows Sarah Findlater, who, after a total of 27 years at Marks & Spencer, gives her role as People Director. Findlater, which the company will leave in autumn, described Machin as “a pleasure to work with her”. He emphasized that she would “go as a company’s long -time girlfriend”.
In a separate contribution, Findlater explained: “It was a real privilege to grow in so many leadership positions and to work with some really fabulous people who inspired me with every step. This was never more than the three months that I recently spent in the branches with our incredible college: I leave the company in a high phase – after three years of the commercial transformation, cultural transformation and profound operational changes. “
