Hubert will oversee Puma’s global sourcing operations, assuming responsibilities that were previously shared between the company’s chief product officer, chief financial officer, and chief executive officer.
Puma’s current CEO, Arne Freundt, was also formerly a senior executive at Adidas before joining the German sportswear company, which has faced increasing competitive pressure in recent quarters.
