Primark has a new chief financial officer. Lucy Slinger has been appointed to the role of chief financial (CFO) at the Irish clothing retailer, the company said on Thursday. As CFO, Slinger will play a critical role in Primark’s long-term growth strategy.
The designated CFO is moving to Primark from her previous position as deputy chief financial officer of Swedish Ikea franchisee Ingka Group. Prior to joining Ingka Group, Slinger spent more than two decades at British energy group Shell in various senior finance positions.
Her experience includes financial reporting, corporate finance, corporate planning and valuation, and the role as CFO of the global aviation business. Slinger brings expertise in financial transformation, operational and financial performance management, and strategic capital allocation in complex global companies.
Following the appointment of Filip Ekvall as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) in March, Slinger is now strengthening Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Eoin Tonge’s leadership team.
“I’m delighted to welcome Lucy to Primark at such an important moment for our business,” said Tonge. “She brings extensive financial expertise from large global organizations, coupled with an impressive track record of disciplined investment and operational performance. As we accelerate our growth strategy and prepare for a self-sufficient future, her leadership will be invaluable.”
