Anders Odén confirmed as Vagabond chief executive

12/04/2013
Anders Odén, who first joined Vagabond ten years ago as financial manager, has been confirmed as the Swedish footwear brand’s new chief executive.

Mr Odén left the shoe company at the end of 2004 and spent three-and-a-half years as chief executive of a company that makes timber-frame houses. But he returned to Vagabond in 2008, first to manage the retail division and then to be vice-president of the company.

He took up his new position at the start of April.

Vagabond currently makes around 2 million pairs of shoes for men and women each year and has customers in 25 countries.
