Clothing and footwear group VF Corporation has named Kevin Bailey as the new global brand president of Vans, replacing Doug Palladini.

This marks a return to Vans for Mr Bailey, who was vice-president for retail at the footwear brand when VF acquired it in 2004. He was then brand president between 2009 and 2016 before holding a series of leadership roles elsewhere in the VF group, most recently as its president for the Asia-Pacific market.
