Hunter, a prestigious British luxury brand known for its exceptional rain boots and waterproof products, has recently welcomed Mark Reed as its new chief financial officer. Reed, who previously held the same position at Anya Hindmarch for the past two years, brings a wealth of experience to his new role at Hunter. Prior to his tenure at Anya Hindmarch, Reed spent over a decade as the finance director at Hackett London and also worked at luxury goods group Richemont.
This strategic appointment is part of Hunter’s ongoing efforts to bolster its senior leadership team. In 2018, the brand made other significant hires, such as Lizzie Samuels as merchandising director and Roope Karmavuo as commercial director for EMEA. Additionally, Jim Calhoun, former president and CEO of Converse, has joined the Hunter board of directors.
Vincent Wauters, the chief executive of Hunter, expressed his enthusiasm for having Reed on board, highlighting the brand’s growth and expansion in the previous year. Wauters is optimistic about collaborating with Reed to foster the brand’s long-term success and prosperity.
On the financial front, Hunter achieved record-breaking daily sales figures during cyber week in 2018, surpassing £1 million on both Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The surge in sales was predominantly attributed to strong online demand in the US market, underscoring Hunter’s wide-reaching appeal and market presence.
With Mark Reed at the helm as the new CFO, Hunter is poised to continue its upward trajectory as a prominent luxury brand on the global stage. By assembling a formidable leadership team and focusing on strategic planning, Hunter is well-positioned to achieve even greater success and acclaim in the future.
