Natalie Massenet, Net-a-Porter Founder, Announces Departure


Natalie Massenet, the founder of Net-a-Porter and the woman who persuaded high fashion that it had a home online, is leaving the British luxury e-commerce group she built, just five months after announcing a merger with its Italian archrival, Yoox.

She resigned shortly after selling her shares in Net-a-Porter, which were valued at 100 million pounds, or $153 million.
