Puma has expanded its Supervisory Board with the election of Harsh Saini and Roland Krüger as independent members during its annual general shareholders meeting. Their election follows the departure of long-time board member Thore Ohlsson and marks an increase in the board’s size from six to seven members. The pair will serve a three-year term.
“Welcoming Harsh and Roland to the Supervisory Board will help Puma to develop further by expanding the overall expertise of our Supervisory Board and further professionalizing its work,” commented Héloïse Temple-Boyer, Chair of the Supervisory Board. ”Both Harsh and Roland are excellent professionals who will enrich the work of our board.”
Saini, a British citizen, brings extensive experience in sustainability from her previous roles with companies such as the Body Shop, Nike and the Fung Group. In these positions, she was instrumental in implementing global sustainability strategies and advocating for ethical practices and sustainable development. Krüger, a German citizen, comes with a strong background in retail management, marketing, and digitalization. Having served as Global CEO of Dyson and held various leadership roles in the automotive sector, Krüger currently sits on the Board of Directors of Dyson Holdings.
Puma CEO Arne Freundt also welcomed the new board members, saying, “I am glad that we have been able to appoint such experienced leaders as Harsh and Roland to our Supervisory Board. Their vast knowledge will be an asset to our company, and I look forward to hearing their valuable perspectives on our business and working with them.”
