US shoe brand Bearpaw Footwear has announced the hiring of Richard Marten as its new vice president of international business development.

As part of the firm’s plans for growth and expansion in 2012, Mr Marten will lead the charge in expanding Bearpaw’s presence in foreign markets where the company does not currently have brand penetration. In addition to managing Bearpaw’s current global distribution network, Mr Marten will work directly with the product development and marketing teams to develop a global strategy that allows Bearpaw’s partners to act on a local needs basis.
