Kickuth is a “seasoned professional” who was previously Global Sales Director at GANT for over four years - since September 2019. Prior to that he held various roles at Adidas from August 2010, culminating in Senior Sales Director for the Nordic region between August 2016 – October 2019. He also spent six years in key sales roles at Reebok from September 2004 – August 2010.

Founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1996, J.Lindberg was “born out of an idea to inject style and energy to golf by changing how players all over the world dress on and off the golf course”. Since then, the brand has continued to bridge the worlds of fashion and sport.
