High-level departure at Under Armour

14/10/2015
Under Armour’s chief operating officer Brad Dickerson is leaving the company, after only a few months in the role.

He has been with the company since 2004, serving as chief financial officer since 2008 and gaining the title of COO this year.

Under Armour explained he is leaving to pursue a “professional opportunity” outside of the athletic performance industry. 

CEO Kevin Plank said: “Brad has played an integral role in providing value for the company by building a strong team and demonstrating a core competency of accelerating growth, taking the company from pre-IPO to a multi-billion dollar global business."

Mr Dickerson added: "I am extremely proud of being part of this dynamic brand, specifically in driving explosive growth to nearly $4 billion in revenue this year and laying the foundation for $7.5 billion in revenue by 2018."
