Rigelman leaves Harrods

After just four weeks on the job, Max Rigelman has quit as managing director of Harrods. Rigelman is the third managing director to leave the luxury Knightsbridge department store in just over two years. Harrods have stated that group finance director Steve Davie will assume the role of acting managing director of Harrods until a replacement is found.

Rigelman, who was also chief executive of footwear brand Kurt Geiger, replaced Marty Wikstrom, who left in March this year. Kurt Geiger was put on the market in February this year, but any sign of a sale was discarded following Rigerman's appointment at Harrods. Crispin Mardon, their former finance director, is now managing director of the footwear business.
