Canada Goose welcomes new finance, strategy & administration president

Canada Goose has announced the appointment of Beth Clymer to the newly created position of president, finance, strategy and administration, starting January 8, 2024. Beth will oversee finance, people and culture, corporate strategy and legal, partnering with the talented leaders who drive these functions. Both Clymer and Carrie Baker, president, brand and commercial will report to Dani Reiss, chairman and CEO.

“Clymer has a long history and depth of experience working with Canada Goose, having been a key partner of ours during her time at Bain Capital, including before, during and after our IPO,” said Dani Reiss, chairman and CEO, Canada Goose. “Clymer is a skilled operator with an incredible track-record, and is intimately familiar with our brand, strategy and teams. I know she will be an invaluable partner to myself and to our leadership team and I look forward to seeing her impact.”

Clymer joins Canada Goose most recently from Jobcase, where she spent the past four years as CFO, overseeing finance, people and culture, corporate development, strategy and legal. Prior to Jobcase, she spent 10 years at Bain Capital as an operating partner working with leaders of private and public companies, including Canada Goose and Burlington Stores, among other established retailers. Beth worked with Canada Goose from 2015 to 2019 – an era of rapid growth and strategic execution.

“I have been a champion of Canada Goose and its exceptional product, globally-loved brand and talented team for a long time, and I am thrilled to join the business, officially – especially during such an exciting and important time in its trajectory,” said Clymer. “I am proud to have supported many of Canada Goose’s key growth levers, including market expansion, wholesale to DTC evolution and transition from privately held to publicly traded, but I believe that we are just getting started and I am excited to capture the incredible efficiencies and opportunities that lie ahead of us.”

Clymer will begin her role on January 8, 2024. She will work closely with both Jonathan Sinclair and Neil Bowden prior to their transitions to president, APAC and CFO respectively, on April 1, 2024, allowing for a smooth transfer of responsibility.
