She will build on the brand’s new eco-innovation franchises while also ensuring continued success within the Timberland Pro business.
Mulder has been CEO at women’s wear brand Nic+Zoe since April 2012, guiding its continued revenue growth through expansion into new points of distribution in the US and internationally, and launched the brand’s direct-to-consumer efforts via e-commerce and its owned stores.
