Canada Goose has created a new position – President, Finance, Strategy & Administration – and hired Beth Clymer, who will be responsible in this role for finance, human resources & culture, corporate strategy and legal.
“Beth has a long history and depth of experience working with Canada Goose, having been a key partner of ours during her time at Bain Capital, including before, during and after our IPO,” said Dani Reiss, Chairman & CEO of Canada Goose.
Clymer joins Canada Goose from Jobcase, where she served as CFO for the past four years. Prior to that, she spent 10 years at Bain Capital as an Operating Partner, working with executives at private and publicly traded companies, including Canada Goose and Burlington Stores, among other established retailers. She worked for Canada Goose from 2015 to 2019, an era of rapid growth and strategic execution for the company.
“I am proud to have supported many of Canada Goose’s key growth levers, including market expansion, wholesale to DTC evolution and transition from privately held to publicly traded, but I believe that we are just getting started, and I am excited to capture the incredible efficiencies and opportunities that lie ahead of us,” she commented.
Clymer will take office on Jan. 8, 2024. She will work closely with Jonathan Sinclair and Neil Bowden before they step up to President, APAC and CFO, respectively, on April 1, 2024, to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.
Penny Brook, Chief Marketing & Experience Officer, will leave the company at the end of the year. Her more than ten-year career at Canada Goose has included leading the brand to its current global luxury positioning and launching Canada Goose’s sustainability and social impact platform, Humanature. Carrie Baker will continue to lead global marketing as President, Brand & Commercial. Daniel Binder will continue to lead the company’s ongoing transformation initiatives as Chief Transformation Officer.
