Footwear brand Keen has hired three in a bid to “more efficiently connect factories, transportation, distribution, sales force and retailers”.

Kirk Hale joins as VP of supply chain operations, where he will direct all facets of global distribution. He brings more than 27 years of experience, most recently working as the senior VP of distribution operations at kitchenware company Williams-Sonoma.

Joining Kirk at Keen’s headquarters in the US and also a veteran of Williams-Sonoma, Brad Voelpel will serve as senior manager of international logistics and compliance and guide the company’s global transportation operations. He previously oversaw high-volume ocean shipping operations at Maersk Line & Damco and international operations at Williams-Sonoma.

Eric Goldner has been hired as VP of global operations and costing, having worked with Nike, Wolverine and Coach. Based in Hong Kong, Eric will look after organisational agility, vendor relations and supply chain capabilities.
