Footasylum, a dynamic player in the fashion streetwear and sportswear segment, has taken strategic steps to bolster its executive team as it gears up for its next growth phase. This comes as part of broader efforts to cement its position in a highly competitive market, underscoring its commitment to innovation and leadership.
Recently, Footasylum has appointed Will Van Rensburg as Chief Commercial Officer. Van Rensburg arrives with invaluable experience, having recently served as Senior Vice President Commercial at Clarks in London and previously holding the post of Global Commercial Director at Under Armour in Hong Kong. His extensive background spans several senior roles at PVH and Aldi, where he managed retail, ecommerce, wholesale, and franchising, alongside implementing successful loyalty programmes.
Glen Wilkinson, set to join later this month as Senior Buying Director, adds over 25 years of industry experience to the team. His impressive track record includes significant tenures at New Balance, Reebok, and AW LAB, equipping him with profound insights and expertise crucial for the retailer’s ambitious plans.
CEO David Pujolar, appointed earlier this year and formerly of Adidas and Tommy Hilfiger, has expressed excitement about these strategic hires. He remarked, “I am delighted to welcome Will and Glen to the business. Their extensive experience across a range of companies and geographies will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our position in the market.”
Pujolar is optimistic that Van Rensburg and Wilkinson will be instrumental in driving Footasylum’s growth strategy, enhancing its product offerings, and maintaining its prominence at the forefront of the fashion industry. This comes on the heels of the company’s best-ever fiscal year performance, setting the stage for continued success as it enters its peak trading period.
With its reinforced executive team, Footasylum is well positioned for continued growth and leadership in the competitive fashion industry.
