Zepz has announced Barrie Morris as its new Interim Chief Executive Officer, marking a key moment for the company as it enters the next phase of growth.
“This week marks an important moment for Zepz and for me personally. As I step into the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer, I do so with a strong sense of responsibility and focus. Having worked closely with our teams in recent years, I have seen first-hand the strength of our business and the momentum we carry into this next phase. From that perspective, I want to share a few reflections on where we stand today and how we are approaching what comes next. We simplified how we operate, strengthened financial discipline and unified our platform to create a more efficient and scalable organisation. The results have been tangible: cash-flow profitability, healthy revenue growth and a leaner cost base that positions us to continue broadening our product offering and deepening customer engagement.”
