Deckers Brands appoints Chief Supply Chain Officer

Deckers Brands has announced the promotion of Angela Ogbechie to the newly created role of Chief Supply Chain Officer, effective 24 June 2022.

Ogbechie has served in various operational roles at Deckers since 2008, most recently as SVP of Global Operations & Supply Chain Strategy.

In her new role, Ogbechie will oversee all activities related to the global supply chain operations and logistics organisation. She will also become a member of the Executive Leadership Team, reporting directly to Dave Powers, CEO and President of Deckers Brands.

Dave Powers, CEO and President of Deckers Brands, said: "Angela is perfectly suited for this new role, bringing the right mix of expertise and creativity from her 14 years working across all aspects of Deckers' global supply chain operations."

Angela Ogbechie, newly appointed Chief Supply Chain Officer at Deckers Brands, said: "I am honoured to take on this new role, particularly at such an important time in the evolution of our supply chain and logistics network. While David leaves large shoes to fill, I look forward to working alongside the talented and dedicated Deckers team to support our continued growth."
