Quiksilver has gone deep into the footwear industry and named Anton Nistl as the new president of DC Shoes, according to a story in the Orange County Business Journal.
He takes over running DC Shoes from former global president Nick Adcock and Americas general manager Mark Miller who left in recent months. . . . Nistl previously worked as senior vice president of sales at New York-based Vida Shoes International Inc., maker of shoes under the Baby Phat, Phat Farm, Osh Kosh, Carters Kids and other brands.
Sounds like Nistl has epic mass market skills and certainly knows soccer. Hopefully he likes skateboarding as well.

This is really unfortunate. Bob McKnight should have at least three people who have been developed inside the Quiksilver organization ready to run DC right now. He obviously has not been developing his staff, despite what he says in the current TWBiz mag.
