Asda takes on John Lewis exec
ASDA has poached John Lewis exec Richard Mayfield to fill the role of chief financial officer.
Mayfield, director of partnership services at John Lewis, is to join the retail giant in the summer, replacing acting CFO Rob McWilliam, who is moving to parent firm Wal-Mart as a strategy director.
Before working for John Lewis, Mayfield held roles at Ernst & Young, LEK and House of Fraser.
John Lewis just two weeks ago announced that an outsider, Helen Weir, would be brought in to fill its own vacancy for a finance director.
