Edinburgh-based fashion retailer Atterley has appointed Kelly Byrne as co-chief executive, alongside its longstanding boss Kenny Baillie.
She joined the team in January as chief growth officer, moving from being the commercial director at Nasty Gal since 2018.
Prior to that, Byrne was the head of marketing at Boohoo and held other senior positions within the group, which also comprises PrettyLittleThing, Nasty Gal, MissPap, Karen Millen and Coast.
Both Baillie and Byrne will work together to set the vision for Atterley and guide teams, with Kenny leading the operations and finance strategy.
Byrne will be responsible for ensuring a high level of growth and expansion for the business as it scales, while setting business priorities and being responsible for progression against them.
Atterley chairman Mike Welch said: "As Atterley progresses and grows, it felt the natural next step to balance our tier one leadership with Kenny and Kelly bringing completely different, yet complementary skill sets to the table.
"With the two of them at the helm, I am even more confident in what Atterley can deliver in the coming months and years."
Byrne said: "Since joining the business in January, I have been hugely impressed at the growth trajectory and Atterley’s future prospects.
"Kenny is a fantastic leader and I am excited to work side by side with him, as we expand Atterley together."
