Inditex has made changes in the leadership of Zara Woman, with Lorena Rodríguez taking over as a new director from Ana Risueño, who recently departed from the position. This move signals a shift towards internal talent within the Galician fashion giant.
A pivotal component of Inditex's flagship alongside its Basic and Trafaluc lines, Zara Woman is managed by Beatriz Padín who has been with the group since 1985 and manages Zara's women's division entirely.

The leadership change comes on the heels of announcement of Inditex's fiscal year 2023 results that revealed a 30.3 per cent rise in net profit to €5.381 billion. The Spanish congloremerate’s total revenue for fiscal increased by 10.4 per cent to €35.947 billion
