Grief-stricken Tanner will assume Boardrider's top role early
07/02/2018
Mr Agnes went missing on January 30 while sailing off the coast of France.
Mr Tanner had been scheduled to become CEO upon the closing of the Billabong acquisition later this year.
Thomas Chambolle, chief financial officer, will take on the additional responsibilities of interim president of the emerging markets and Middle East region. Mr Chambolle was a close partner to Pierre in Europe over the last several years.
Dave Tanner said: “We are all are grief stricken over the sudden and tragic loss of our friend Pierre Agnes. At the same time, we are resolute and passionately unified in our commitment to honor Pierre’s memory and extend his legacy by driving the continued resurgence and growth of Boardriders.
“While it is impossible to replace Pierre’s spirit, we have filled our team with talented and creative professionals who will continue to nurture the company’s unique culture, build on our past successes, and deliver on our now even more meaningful collective mission.”
Boardriders is the parent group of the Quiksilver, Roxy and DC Shoes brands.
