Liberty managing director of retail Sarah Coonan is set to step down from the luxury department store after more than 15 years.
Coonan, who first joined in 2010, will remain in her role until January 31, 2026.
She has held several roles during her tenure, including head of buying for beauty, home and little Liberty and buying director, before being promoted to retail managing director in 2022.
Coonan said: “After 15 years at Liberty, it’s been an enormous privilege to be part of such an extraordinary establishment. Liberty’s spirit of creativity and independence is truly unique – and it’s been an honour to build and lead a team so dedicated to that vision.
“I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved together and feel confident that Liberty is in a strong position for the future.”
Liberty chief executive Adil Mehboob-Khan added: “Sarah leaves a legacy of success – we enjoyed a decade of retail growth thanks to her contributions at retail and company level.
“She has been a force in continuing to drive Liberty as one of London’s most distinctive and design-led retail destinations. Sarah has built a strong organisation, has embodied the Liberty spirit and culture, and has been a great coach and friend to many. With sincere fondness, respect and gratitude, I wish Sarah all the best for her future.”
