Burberry Seeks Investor Support for CEO's Turnaround Plan

Burberry Seeks Investor Support for CEO's Turnaround Plan

Burberry Group Plc Chief Executive Officer Marco Gobbetti is seeking to enlist investor support for his turnaround plan with a 150 million-pound ($203 million) share buyback. The London-based company is looking to join its peers by seeking a more exclusive image under new creative director Riccardo Tisci, who is set to show his first collection in September. The shares rose as much as 3.8 percent after Burberry said it saw signs that the new strategy was paying off.
