ROCKFORD, Mich.: Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (NYSE: WWW) today announced the appointment of Brett Parent as Chief Strategy Officer, effective February 3, 2025. In this newly created role, Mr. Parent will be responsible for developing and driving the Company’s enterprise strategy, along with assessing growth opportunities for the Company’s brand portfolio across a global footprint spanning 170 countries and territories.

He will continue reporting directly to Chris Hufnagel, President and CEO of Wolverine Worldwide, and serve on the Company’s Executive Team.

Mr. Parent joined Wolverine Worldwide’s Direct-to-Consumer division almost two decades ago and has since held a variety of increasingly significant leadership roles across the organization – both in brand and corporate functions – most recently serving as Vice President of Strategy.
