Adidas has appointed Puma CEO Bjørn Gulden as its new chief executive in the wake of the company's fallout from its split with Kanye West.
Adidas has appointed Bjrn Gulden, the CEO of rival Puma, as its new chief executive, and he will take over the German sportswear brand in January as the company weathers the fallout from its split with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.
Chief Financial Officer Harm Ohlmeyer will head Adidas until the end of the year. He takes the helm temporarily after the company ended a partnership with Ye late last month amid mounting outcry over the rapper's offensive and antisemitic remarks. Gulden, a 57-year-old Norwegian who was once a professional soccer and handball player, has been Puma's CEO since 2013. He has worked at Adidas before and was its senior vice president of apparel and accessories from 1992 to 1999.
Gulden "knows the industry extremely well and draws on a rich network in sport and retail," Adidas supervisory board chairman Thomas Rabe said in a statement.
