Promotion at TNF

15/01/2010

The North Face (TNF) has announced that its sales director for the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region, Timo Schmidt-Eisenhart, has been promoted to VP/general manager of TNF EMEA.

“Not only is Timo intimately familiar with The North Face brand and its leadership role in the outdoor industry, but he also brings with him an extensive pan-European knowledge, having lived and worked across the continent, from Austria and Germany, to the Netherlands and Italy,” remarked Mr Frisk. “I am convinced the brand will continue to grow and expand, while maintaining its premiere positioning, under his leadership.”

Born and raised in the mountains of Switzerland, Mr Schmidt-Eisenhart is a passionate skier and a real outdoor enthusiast who says he is looking forward to relocating to his native country later this year as TNF EMEA integrates its European headquarters into the VF corporate offices in Lugano.
