Olivia Wirth overhauls Myer executive team to become ‘leading retail platform’


Myer boss Olivia Wirth has tapped a former executive from rival department store David Jones as its new chief financial officer as part of a broader revamp after its merger with Solomon Lew’s fashion brands.

Myer has recruited Kathy Karabatsas as CFO to replace Matt Jackman, who is leaving the business after eight years to pursue other opportunities. Ms Karabatsas served as CFO of David Jones from 2021 to 2023.

Myer on Friday told the market it had also appointed Megan Collins — who has worked at gold miner Newcrest Mining and Treasury Wine Estates — as chief people officer.

Mark Medwell, who was at Cotton On Group for more than eight years, has been named as Myer’s new chief information officer.

The sweeping changes, which also includes several general manager appointments, came a year after the former Qantas loyalty boss Ms Wirth was parachuted into the executive chair role at Myer.
