Promotions as Kontoor hints at acquisitions
Wrangler and Lee-owner Kontoor Brands has promoted Jenni Broyles to chief commercial officer and global head of brands, and Joseph Alkire to chief financial officer and global head of operations, reporting to CEO Scott Baxter.
Mr Baxter said: “Jenni and Joe have earned these expanded roles through proven performance and strategic leadership, a testament to the depth of talent we are cultivating at Kontoor Brands.
“This leadership team has the vision and expertise to guide Kontoor's strategic evolution as we expand our portfolio of brands, accelerate growth and continue to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”
Tom Waldron, chief operating officer, will leave Kontoor after a transition period that will conclude on September 30.
In February, Kontoor bought outdoor brand Helly Hansen. It was previously part of VF Corp, which specialises in the outdoor sector.
