PAUL Zahra has resigned as the chief executive of department store giant David Jones.
Mr Zahra is resigning for personal reasons and will step down when a successor is found, the company told the Australian Securities Exchange on Monday after the market had closed.
The man who took over from Mark McInnes in June 2010, following a sexual harassment scandal, will continue working with the full support of the board.
"Whilst much has been achieved and the company is well placed for the future, I believe it's time for a change for me personally," Mr Zahra said in a statement.
David Jones chairman Peter Mason said Mr Zahra would leave the retailer in a solid financial position.
"I thank him for his contribution as CEO," he said in a statement.
"I look forward to working with Paul to ensure a smooth transition of his role to his successor."
