“As Canada Goose embarks on a new chapter of global growth, I couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Saage and Davis to the board and Khan to the role of CTO,” said Dani Reiss, chairman and CEO, Canada Goose. “I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Bekenstein for his outstanding service, leadership and contributions to Canada Goose since I met him in 2013. Bekenstein remains an incredible mentor and good friend. Our newest board members will draw on their extensive knowledge and expertise in finance, luxury and retail to help our team to continue to execute against our strategic growth pillars, while Khan will lead our technology transformation.”
Canada Goose has appointed Gary Saage, former CFO of Richemont, and Jennifer Davis, a partner at Bain Capital Private Equity, to its board of directors, while Marjan Anwar Khan has been named the chief technology officer.
These changes aim to support Canada Goose’s global growth strategy in finance, luxury, and technology under the leadership of CEO.
Saage has extensive experience in the luxury industry, most recently serving as chief financial officer for the Richemont group based in Switzerland. In 1988, he joined Cartier in the US, and subsequently served as the chief operating officer of Richemont in North America and then as COO of Alfred Dunhill in London. In 2006, Gary joined Richemont as group deputy finance director and in 2010 was promoted to chief financial officer. Gary has recently been nominated to the board of Richemont and, if elected, to the role of chairman of their audit committee.
