Tom Leak has been appointed as global general manager of retail for luxury homewares store Coco Republic.
The retailer operates showrooms across Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
"This new role represents a fantastic opportunity to lead and innovate in the world of luxury home furnishings and design," Leak confirmed in a post on LinkedIn. "Coco Republic has a rich heritage of providing beautiful, high-quality products and exceptional customer experiences. I am eager to work with such a talented team and contribute to the continued growth and success of the company on a global scale."
The move follows a decade-long tenure at Super Retail Group, most recently as general manager of retail for sportswear chain Rebel. Leak was responsible for all retail operational aspects of the business, sales, visual merchandising, training, online fulfilment, safety, asset protection and compliance.
Leak was also integral to the rollout of Rebel rcx stores, a new format intended to boost in-store customer interaction through physical activations such as football testing zones and on-site fitness experts.
