Jonathan Akeroyd
Breakfast at Burberry's Newly Refurbished Bond Street Store
A rare opportunity to hear CEO, Jonathan Akeroyd, tells us about his plans for Burberry, to explore the newly refurbished flagship store and to get ahead with your Christmas shopping.
Jonathan was appointed CEO of Burberry in April 2022. Prior to that he had been CEO of Versace since 2016. Before Versace, Akeroyd enjoyed a 12-year tenure as the chief executive at Alexander McQueen, where he oversaw significant expansion, and steered the brand through the death of its founding designer. His career in retail began while working as a store manager at Harrods in London. Over the course of 15 years he steadily rose through the ranks, becoming merchandising director of the luxury department store before being approached by the Gucci Group to take the helm at Alexander McQueen in 2004.
