He is based at the company’s headquarters in Vianen, Netherlands. Petersson is a familiar face at Foot Locker: for the past year and a half, he has led the fortunes of sister Japanese label Atmos. Until 2021, he was VP and GM at Foot Locker Asia, the same role he now holds for the EMEA region. In the past, he has also worked at Intersport Sweden, Puma and Stadium.
