Massimiliano Brunazzo is to take over at the start of October as the general manager for the business unit covering the training category at the Adidas Group. He takes over from Brian Grevy, who obtained the job two years ago and has left the group, apparently to become chief marketing officer at Gant. Brunazzo was already at the Adidas Group for five years until 2011, working in product management in the men's training apparel team. He then left to Hugo Boss, where he progressed and spent four years as general manager for Italy. From the start of 2015 he was managing director for southern Europe. Brunazzo is to report directly into Eric Liedtke, Adidas' executive board member in charge of global brands.
