It will focus on three areas:
- Overseeing the delivery of transformation projects across the organisation.
- Development of an enhanced framework for integrating acquisitions.
- Delivering an operating structure to standardise technologies, platforms and processes across support functions such as finance, technology and HR.
Reconomy has said that it hopes the function will enhance collaboration within the brand to support the delivery of key growth strategies.
The new function will be led by James Skeet, director of group change and transformation, who previously established the Project Management Office within Reconomy’s Technology function.
He commented: “This is an exciting time for our business and I am pleased to lead this function as we embark on the next phase of our growth journey. I look forward to working closely with my colleagues across the group to deliver our key transformation initiatives.”
Guy Wakeley, chief executive at Reconomy, added: “The creation of this function is perfectly timed and is an excellent step in our evolution. As we continue to execute on our ambitious growth plans it is important that we operate as one international team with best-in-class local experts.
“This new focus will set us up for future success and deliver exceptional services and capabilities at scale. I am absolutely delighted that James will be leading this function as we pursue our vision of creating a waste-free world.”
