He will lead all EMEA distributor operations and strategy for the company's 16-brand portfolio, which includes Merrell, CAT Footwear, Hush Puppies, Saucony, Wolverine and Keds. The EMEA region represents about 15% of the company's revenue.
Bill Brown, president of Wolverine, said: "Daniel will lead a talented and vastly experienced team focused on driving growth. His extensive background in growing lifestyle brands fits seamlessly with the company's desire to support both our owned operations and those of our distributors and licencees, while also accelerating brand development and maximising opportunities in the region."
Mr Le Vesconte most recently worked as vice-president and general manager for Vans and Reef EMEA, where he had responsibility for the lifestyle development of the footwear brands. He commented: "The opportunity to join Wolverine Worldwide is extremely exciting. The company's 16 brands represent some of the world's most admired and beloved footwear and apparel brands, and I look forward to working with the team to achieve our growth objectives."
