Liberty, the high-end department store retailer, has announced the appointment of Sarah Coonan as its new Managing Director of Retail. Coonan, who previously held the position of buying director, has been a valuable asset to the company for the past 12 years, gaining extensive experience in the luxury department store sector.
In her previous role, Coonan oversaw the buying for various categories including beauty, home, and Little Liberty. Before her tenure at Liberty, she worked as an assistant buyer at Harrods, which further sharpened her expertise in the industry.
While the company has not made an official announcement regarding Coonan’s promotion, she took to LinkedIn to share her excitement and pride in assuming this new responsibility.
Liberty’s decision to appoint Coonan comes during a period of significant changes within the organization. The company recently named Rhea Cartwright as its new head of beauty buying, signaling its dedication to enhancing its beauty offerings. Additionally, Liberty has engaged in prominent collaborations, such as its partnership with Puma in the spring. Furthermore, the retailer has launched a beauty newspaper as part of its marketing strategy to promote its key category and has made investments in new technology to facilitate the process of adding products to its webstore.
Coonan’s promotion to Managing Director of Retail demonstrates the company’s confidence in her abilities and comprehensive understanding of the industry. With her vast experience in the luxury department store sector and her track record of success at Liberty, she is well-positioned to drive further growth and accomplishments for the brand. With Coonan now leading the retail division, Liberty is poised to continue expanding and solidify its prominent position as a leading retailer in the luxury market.
