Crocs hires new European retail director
Footwear brand Crocs has hired former La Senza retail operations director Ann Chan to join as European retail director.
Ms Chan, who had been at the Canadian lingerie retailer since July 2011, will be based at Crocs’ European head office in the Netherlands and will report to Crocs European managing director Vince Gunn, the former boss of academic book chain Blackwells. Mr Gunn joined at the end of 2011.
Prior to joining La Senza, Ms Chan was at UK apparel retailer New Look for 16 years where she held various positions including business change director.
Ms Chan’s appointment is one of three key appointments at Crocs. Adrian Holloway, financial controller at Bathstore, will join the footwear brand as finance director while Michael Marshall-Clarke, currently head of creative at beauty brand Liz Earle, will assume the role of European marketing director.
Crocs has not disclosed when Ms Chan, Mr Holloway and Mr Marshall-Clarke will take-up their roles, but all will be based in the Netherlands.
