Executive Overview

I believe in the power of sport to inspire, unite us and improve our health and wellness. I am excited for a future where innovation and technology continue drive manufacturing and retail forward. I am inspired by our community, by the people and places that give us purpose and conviction to challenge the status quo. I am driven to create energy, seek solutions and inspire collaboration globally. For more than 25 years, I have been part of the New Balance team and now I have the privilege of leading us into our next chapter of business and cultural growth, fueled by agility and creativity. We remain guided by our brand’s heritage, strong values and our shared passion for making our world a better place. I am personally committed to ensuring our thousands of associates worldwide can leverage their strengths and enable their own success as we advance our company’s priorities together. At New Balance, we stand for something bigger than sneakers. We champion those who are fearlessly driven by their passions. We elevate sport. We do right by people and the planet. Together, we drive meaningful change in communities around the world.
