Alexander Hauser New Chief Operating Officer at JACK WOLFSKIN

He is also responsible for further integration of Jack Wolfskin's warehouse and IT landscape into the structures of the Callaway Group. In the past, Jack Wolfskin had bundled the responsibilities of the CFO and COO into one position. In order to meet the expanded requirements of the Callaway Group as the new shareholder of Jack Wolfskin, the separation of the two areas of responsibility was announced in the summer. Since June, the new CFO of Jack Wolfskin, Ante Franicevic, had temporarily assumed the duties of COO until Alexander Hauser joined the company.

Melody Harris-Jensbach, CEO of Jack Wolfskin, said: "Alexander Hauser has extensive experience in his new areas of responsibility, which are of key importance for further development of our business. We are very pleased to have found Alexander Hauser as COO for Jack Wolfskin, with whom we also know that the comprehensive tasks for our integration into the Callaway Group are in the best hands. I am convinced that Alexander Hauser, with his experience and know-how, can make an important contribution to Jack Wolfskin's future success".

Before he joined Jack Wolfskin Alexander Hauser worked as CIO at the Beeline Group, one of the largest international suppliers of costume jewellery. He has more than 20 years of experience in the IT industry and has managed comprehensive projects in the areas of supply chain, logistics, sales and e-commerce. Before joining the Beeline Group, he worked for the Otto Group for seven years, where he held senior positions in IT.
