She will take up her new role on 1 April 2025.

Additionally, she has worked at Sergio Rossi and held various managerial positions at Lane Crawford in mainland China.

"Stella has impressive and deep understanding of the luxury market and consumers in the Asia Pacific region,” said Gerry Murphy, chair at Burberry. “Her insight and expertise will be a great asset to Burberry and we are delighted that she has accepted our invitation to join the Burberry board."

Burberry also said that Fabiola Arredondo and Antoine de Saint-Affrique will retire from the board as non-executive directors following its July 2025 AGM.
