After the position of president was vacant for nearly three months, La Chapelle finally hired a new president.
On the evening of November 4, La Chapelle issued an announcement stating that the company’s board of directors reviewed and approved the “About Appointment President’s Proposal”, agreeing to appoint Zhang Danling as the company’s president, with a term starting from the date of approval by the second board of directors and ending on the expiration date of the fourth board of directors.
It is reported that the new president hired by La Chapelle this time is a “La Chapelle native” who has served for nearly 20 years. According to information disclosed by La Chapelle, Zhang Danling has been working at La Chapelle since March 2001. As the co-founder of La Chapelle, she is now mainly in charge of new retail, online channels and market work.
During her tenure, Zhang Danling served as La Chapelle’s design director, general manager of the brand management center, general manager of the brand department, and general manager of the business department, etc. From May 2011 to 2012 During November and from May 2020 to present, he has served as a director of the company.
In fact, the position has been vacant since the previous president resigned. This internal promotion is also because internal staff have a better understanding of La Chapelle’s development, so they can make corresponding adjustments more quickly. But as far as La Chapelle’s current situation is concerned, no matter how powerful the CEO is, it will be difficult to save her from the fire. High debt and huge performance losses make it difficult for La Chapelle to solve these problems.
In fact, due to its own performance losses, increasing huge debts, and facing delisting and other problems, La Chapelle’s president has been changing frequently. The reporter combed through and found that La Chapelle had changed the position of president four times in the past year. In October 2019, Xing Jiaxing, chairman and president of La Chapelle, applied to resign as president and still serves as the company’s chairman and legal representative. As for the position of president, Yu Qiang took over and was fully responsible for daily operations and management.
In February 2020, La Chapelle said that Yu Qiang had resigned from La Chapelle because he needed to devote more time and energy to his own business. Schaber holds executive director, president and other positions. At the same time, Xing Jiaxing became the president of La Chapelle again. In April of the same year, La Chapelle announced again that Xing Jiaxing had applied to resign as president of the company due to personal reasons, and his vice president Yin Xinzai was promoted to president of the company.
However, Yin Xinzai resigned again less than four months after taking office. In August 2020, La Chapelle announced that the company’s president, Yin Xinzai, had resigned due to personal reasons. After his resignation, Yin Xinzai will still serve as the company’s director and corresponding positions in the special committees of the board of directors. At the same time, La Chapelle said it would complete the selection of the new president as soon as possible.
In addition to frequent changes in presidents, many senior executives of La Chapelle also resigned. The first half annual report shows that Wang Wenke and Rui Peng applied to resign as directors and independent directors of La Chapelle in February; Shen Jiaming resigned as chief financial officer of La Chapelle in March. </p
