CHICAGO -- Crate & Barrel Holdings, Inc. has announced that after six successful years with the Otto Group, most recently serving as CEO of Crate and Barrel Holdings, Inc., Neela Montgomery will leave the company on Aug. 1, 2020 to pursue new opportunities.

Montgomery informed the board of her decision late last year and the name of her successor will be announced shortly.

"It has been a pleasure to lead these amazing brands at Crate and CB2," Montgomery said.  "We have accelerated their strategic and operational capabilities as a digitally-forward, innovative retailer now positioned for the future. This is a passionate, talented team with a great platform for continued success. I thank them for their commitment and as I take on new challenges, I look forward to seeing their future achievements."

As a member of the executive board, Montgomery made significant contributions to the group's customer orientation and the integration of retail and online channels. As CEO of Crate and Barrel Holdings, she successfully drove the continued sales growth and operational development of the company. Among other achievements, she led the expansion of the CB2 brand, the acquisition of Hudson Grace, the launch of Crate and Barrel's first full-service restaurant concept, The Table at Crate, and a more seamless integration of offline and online channels.

Prof. Dr. Michael Otto, Chairman of the supervisory board of the Otto Group said: "I would like to personally thank Neela for her contribution to the Otto Group over the past six years, first during her tenure in Hamburg and then as the CEO of Crate and Barrel. Though we are losing a global leader whose strategic vision, customer focus and digital expertise has brought us much success, I wish her well in her future endeavors."
