Mr. Parent joined Wolverine Worldwide’s Direct-to-Consumer division almost two decades ago and has since held a variety of increasingly significant leadership roles across the organization – both in brand and corporate functions – most recently serving as Vice President of Strategy.

“In his time with the Company, Brett’s seen virtually every aspect of our global operations and he has a long track record of success in both building great teams and driving the business,” said Chris Hufnagel, President and CEO of Wolverine Worldwide. “Perhaps most importantly, Brett has been a key architect, trusted advisor, and integral leader of our Company’s turnaround effort over the past 18 months. We look forward to continuing to benefit from his deep experience and strong partnerships to help identify and drive our strategic objectives and deliver better returns for our shareholders.”

“I am honored and grateful to serve as the Company’s first Chief Strategy Officer. We have great brands with tremendous opportunity, and I look forward to building on our current momentum with the global teams to realize Wolverine Worldwide’s full potential around the world,” said Mr. Parent.
