Europe's largest fashion etailer Zalando is expected to appoint Cristina Stenbeck of key investor Kinnevik as its chairman this week.
The move follows the surprise resignation of Mia Brunell Livfors, who is chairman at Zalando, from her role as chief executive officer of Kinnevik.
Stenbeck inherited the Kinnevik fortune at the age of 24 when her father Jan Stenbeck died. A role at Zalando would 'cement her grip' on the Kinnevik investment empire, the Financial Times said.
Brunell Livfors was only appointed in December but said there was 'no drama ' in her decision to step down from the firm, in which Kinnevik has a 37 per cent stake.
Zalando's sales increased almost 75 per cent to €809 in the first half of of 2013 compared to a year earlier - the most recent figures available.
