PUMA has appointed Dusan Hamlin to the newly created role of Vice President, Global Ecommerce, effective immediately. He will report to Matthias Bäumer, PUMA’s chief commercial officer.

The appointment follows PUMA’s late 2025 announcement that it would split its direct to consumer business into two standalone divisions, Global Retail and Global Ecommerce. The move reflects the growing strategic weight PUMA places on its digital channels as it sharpens commercial focus on each side of the business.
