CEO Sessions: Andrew Xeni

Discover insights from the founder of Nobody’s Child, Fabacus, and Soreto on merging retail and technology, and why data is so powerful for business.

At our recent Retail & Leisure Outlook 2025 live event, Andrew joined specialists from across the sector to share insights on the innovative strategies transforming their business. 

 

He described how he has grown Fabacus within the retail value chain to build a solution to standardise licensing product data and supply chain visibility. And how Nobody’s Child became M&S’s first third-party clothing brand.

 

We caught up with Andrew to ask:

  • Why is data so powerful for business?
  • If you could name one thing businesses could do to get future-ready, what would it be?
  • What’s enabling growth in your own business?
  • How have you successfully managed the transition from fashion/design to tech?
  • What’s your best piece of advice for those starting their business journey?
  • How do you make your mark in a saturated market?
  • If you could go back to your younger self, what would you say?
