Zooplus gets new CEO

Europe's leading online pet retailer Zooplus is getting a new CEO at the turn of the year. According to press reports, Geoffroy Lefebvre is to take over the CEO post. He was previously managing director at the luxury retailer Yoox Net-a-Porter in Milan (Italy).

Last April, the previous CEO, Dr Cornelius Patt, announced that he would be stepping down. He co-founded Zooplus in 1999 and had been CEO since 2006.
