Jigsaw has appointed former Coast and Karen Millen head Beth Butterwick as its new chief executive.

According to Drapers, a Jigsaw spokesperson confirmed she had taken up the role in May this year after initially acting as a consulting operating partner.

Butterwick left Coast and Karen Millen in 2019 following their acquisition by online fashion retail group Boohoo. She has also previously worked as chief executive of Bonmarche and in senior roles at Gap and Marks & Spencer.
