Cory Long, new President of Sorel

Long is a veteran of the footwear and apparel industry, most recently serving as Global General Manager and Chief Global Merchant of DC Shoes. He has leadership experience at an array of brands, including Mitchell & Ness, Asics, Supra, and Converse.

“We are delighted to have Cory join the Sorel family,” said Craig Zanon, SVP, Emerging Brands. “His strength of leadership and consumer-champion mindset will be key in fueling the next era of Sorel growth.”
