VF Corp Slice Up Brands, Gatto Gone

by The Editors on January 20, 2009

Dave Gatto is leaving VF Corporation as part of a reorganization according to a story in the News Record.

VF said its Outdoor Americas unit will include the North Face, JanSport and Eagle Creek brands. It will be overseen by Steve Rendle, 49, currently president of The North Face. . . . The second unit, action sports Americas, will include Vans and Reef brands. It will be led by current Vans president Stephen Murray, 48.

Wonder if this is in preparation for any footwear acquisitions.
