LONDON, United Kingdom — BoF compiles the most important professional moves of the week.

Peter Dundas Exits Roberto Cavalli
After 19 months as creative director of Roberto Cavalli, Peter Dundas is leaving his role in the midst of a radical and comprehensive reorganisation of the house.

Executive Shake-up at Condé Nast
Condé Nast has hired Jim Norton as chief business officer and president of revenue, a newly created position within the company. He joins from AOL, where he spent the last seven years managing global media sales. Norton's arrival coincides with the departure of Edward Menicheschi, who was most recently Condé Nast's chief marketing officer. Chief administrative officer Jill Bright, who led talent recruiting from 1996 to 2010 before being promoted to the c-suite, is also departing after 23 years.

Christopher Kane Names CEO
