Ralph Lauren has strategically named Martina Bovenkerk as the head of Germany, a move aimed at boosting the brand’s presence in Central and Eastern Europe. In her new role as senior vice president, Bovenkerk will lead efforts to drive growth in the region while overseeing all sales channels in alignment with Ralph Lauren’s EMEA strategy.
With a solid track record at the company since 2011, Bovenkerk brings a wealth of experience to the table. Her previous roles include general merchandise manager for e-commerce, senior director for wholesale and e-commerce, and vice president for e-commerce in the EMEA and LATAM regions.
