Sincerbeaux will report directly to Blake Krueger, Wolverine Worldwide's chairman, chief executive officer, and president.
To coordinate expertise and leadership of the apparel and accessories businesses for Wolverine Worldwide's portfolio of global lifestyle and performance brands, Tom Kennedy has been appointed as president of apparel and accessories. In this newly-created role, Kennedy will oversee all of the Company's apparel and accessories initiatives around the world.
