Personalwechsel: Hugo Boss hat einen neuen Aufsichtsratschef

Hugo Boss, the fashion conglomerate, has appointed a new member to its supervisory board. Michael Murray, the head of the acquisition company Frasers Group, which was working on a takeover of Boss, was chosen as the new chairman by the supervisory board, the company announced from Metzingen. Murray had been a member of the group since May 2025.

Before this change, there was a dispute between the outgoing chairman, Stephan Sturm, and Frasers Group. Sturm had announced his resignation from the board shortly after the failed takeover by the British corporation. He was set to be legally appointed as the successor to the supervisory board. Frasers Group had been attempting to take the helm at Hugo Boss over the past months, and while the takeover narrowly failed, the Brits still held nearly 48 percent of the fashion house.

The relationship between the major shareholder and the company's leadership had been strained for some time, with Frasers removing Sturm as chairman in December over issues such as dividend payments. Sturm had been a member and head of the board since May 2025.
