Ecco CEO stands down
Reports indicate that Panos Mytaros has resigned as chief executive of footwear group ECCO, effective immediately. He has updated his LinkedIn profile to show that he is back in the Netherlands and is ‘open to work’.
In the interim, Thomas Gøgsig has been appointed as the acting CEO while the company evaluates its leadership strategy.
Mr Mytaros (pictured) first joined ECCO as the tannery director in Indonesia before returning to Europe in 2002 to help establish the ECCO Leather Group in Dongen, Netherlands. He became a board member in 2011 and took on the role of Group CEO in 2021, succeeding Steen Borgholm.
Thomas Gøgsig, a third-generation member of the Gøgsig family at ECCO, has been with the company for nearly a decade. He was appointed head of applied research in 2015 and later served as Vice President and Chief of Staff in the marketing division starting in 2018.
