In his new position, Mr Campbell will be responsible for leading The North Face’s vision in the Americas. He will also be responsible for establishing the brand’s leadership team in the region. VF has paid tribute to his “deep experience in the outdoor industry” as well as to his “personal passion for the outdoors”.

VF has described her as a “multi-dimensional leader” and said she has deep knowledge of the Smartwool brand.
