K3 announces leadership and strategic direction changes for K3 Fashion Portfolio

K3, which provides business‐critical software solutions for the fashion and apparel industry, announces that Kimberly Morgan will be stepping down as Chief Commercial and Operations Officer, Fashion Portfolio and leaving the company.  Mark Cockings will be taking on the role of Managing Director, K3 Products Division and will be responsible for both K3 Retail and Fashion Solutions.

These changes, which take effect immediately, align K3 management more geographically with the majority of K3 Fashion Portfolio resources and market presence.  The changes mark a shift in focus and the go-to-market strategy, which will be directed more intensely towards working with Microsoft and our partners within the Microsoft Partner ecosystem to further develop and grow the Fashion Portfolio business. In line with this revised focus, K3 has also reduced direct seller resources across the business while increasing resources focused on Partner activities and enablement.

“I am honoured and excited to be taking on this new role within K3 and I am looking forward to working with our staff, partners and customers to further develop and grow our Fashion Portfolio business,” said Mark Cockings.

Mark, who joined K3 in March 2020, brings a wealth of experience to his new role having previously worked extensively with Microsoft Dynamics Partners prior to joining K3 where he has held multiple roles, most recently as Managing Director, K3 Retail Solutions.

Kimberly will collaborate with K3 and Mark until the end of November to enable a smooth and orderly handover. We would like to thank Kimberly for her contribution to K3 during her tenure and we wish her every success for the future.
