Strategic Management Changes Position Canada Goose for Continued Growth Across Key Global Markets
Canada Goose Holdings Inc. ((NYSE, TSX:GOOS) today announced executive management changes that demonstrate a continued evolution of the leadership team that is fit for purpose. These updates position the business for continued growth in key global markets and reinforce our commitment to operational excellence, unlocking regional potential, and ensuring continuity as the company executes its long-term strategy.
Daniel Binder has been appointed President, Asia Pacific, effective April 2026, while continuing his role as Chief Transformation Officer. With extensive experience across the region, Dan is already working closely with regional leaders to capture opportunities in this market. As part of this transition, he will step down from his position as Executive Vice President, Global Stores – a move aligned with our efforts to ensure a fit for purpose leadership structure.
Niclas Ekerot joins Canada Goose as SVP, Global Stores, effective immediately. Niclas succeeds Dan, assuming global retail leadership. Niclas brings more than 25 years of luxury retail experience, having held senior leadership roles at Bottega Veneta, Michael Kors, Gucci, and most recently Burberry. His deep expertise in global retail operations, brand elevation, and customer experience will be instrumental as Canada Goose continues to strengthen and expand its retail presence globally.
These appointments follow Jonathan Sinclair's planned succession and decision to step down as President, Asia Pacific, after establishing a strong foundation of operational discipline during his tenure. Jonathan, who previously served as the company's Chief Financial Officer, will remain engaged with the company as a board member for its regional subsidiaries, ensuring continuity and strategic oversight.
After more than a decade of leadership and impact at Canada Goose, Ana Mihaljevic, President of North America, has made the decision to leave the company in February to pursue new opportunities. Carrie Baker, President, Brand & Commercial, will oversee the North America market on an interim basis while we conduct a search for Ana's successor.
"We are deeply grateful to Jonathan and Ana and thank them for their longstanding service and contributions, which have helped build the foundation for our next chapter," said Dani Reiss, Chairman and CEO of Canada Goose. "We also welcome Dan and Niclas into their new roles. Dan's proven ability to drive transformation and Niclas's deep expertise in luxury retail will be critical as we scale our business in Asia Pacific and elevate our retail experience worldwide."
