Moriarty, currently Chief Retail and Technology Officer at J Sainsbury plc (OTC:JSAIY), will succeed Nick Wilkinson, who is retiring after seven years in the role. Wilkinson will step down from the board at the end of September and leave the company in early October.

She has worked at Sainsbury’s for 15 years in various leadership roles after previously spending nine years at Bain & Company.
Dunelm Chair Alison Brittain described Moriarty as "a proven industry leader" who brings "an impressive range of skills and experience from one of the UK’s largest retailers."
"Clo was the standout candidate from a strong field," Brittain said, according to the company’s press release.
Moriarty has served as a Non-Executive Director of Taylor Wimpey (LON:TW) plc since June 2022.
Regarding her appointment, Moriarty stated: "Dunelm is a fantastic business which I have followed and admired for many years, so to be joining as CEO is a real privilege."
Dunelm indicated that Moriarty’s remuneration details will be outlined in the company’s FY25 Annual Report and will align with the Directors’ Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders in November 2023.
