British luxury brand Burberry said on Wednesday it had appointed Kate Ferry as its next chief financial officer, succeeding Julie Brown, who is joining GSK.

Ferry, who is currently chief financial officer at Formula One and luxury car firm McLaren Group, will join Burberry by early September at the latest, the company said.

Senior vice president Ian Brimicombe will be interim CFO from April 2, after Brown's departure, until Ferry starts, Burberry said.

Gucci owner Kering has transferred three of its Paris real estate assets to a new joint venture with French private equity firm Ardian, freeing up 837 million euros ($860.27 million) in proceeds, the company announced on Wednesday.

The portfolio of the new entity, in which Kering will keep a 40% stake, includes a building on place Vendome, famous for its jewellery boutiques, and two others on avenue Montaigne, one of Paris's main high-end shopping streets.

The transaction is part of Kering's broader real estate strategy, aimed at securing control of high-profile retail locations while also raising cash.

The company - which also owns fashion labels Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta - issued a hefty profit warning in October. It is due to report full-year results on Feb. 11.
