Puma’s chief commercial officer Matthias Bauemer will step down from the management board effective from the September 30 due to personal reasons.
Bauemer will continue to work for the brand as a consultant and will still be representing the company on the supervisory board of German football club Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co.KGaA.
He joined Puma in 2007 as sales director Puma Germany, Benelux, and took over as general manager DACH a couple years later.
His successor has yet to be announced.
