"It's truly a privilege to become a board member for Canada Goose, a brand that I've respected for a long time for its authenticity, unmatched product and commitment to sustainability. I was proud to have worked on Canada Goose's IPO in 2017, and I'm thrilled to be able to work even more closely with the talented leadership team to contribute to driving business acceleration and growth in the global luxury market," said Jennifer.

Leadership Team:

As Chief Technology Officer, Marjan Anwar Khan will lead Canada Goose's technological evolution, including developing a system-wide architecture strategy, advancing digital strategy, implementing AI and automation practices, and fostering new business partnerships. Before joining Canada Goose, Marjan spent eight years at Restaurant Brands International where she led Tech Partner Success and the Project Management Office in her most recent role. She has also held senior roles at Tim Hortons and Deloitte.

"I'm very excited to join the Canada Goose team and help lead the brand on its digital transformation journey. I've always admired Canada Goose, truly one of Canada's most well-known and beloved brands, as they have brought more of Canada to the world," said Marjan. "I look forward to contributing to the company's next phase of innovation and to see how far we can push the boundaries of technological capability and design in the evolving retail industry."

Finally, Woody Blackford, Chief Product Officer is no longer with Canada Goose. The search for a new design lead, who will work closely with our existing product leadership team, commenced prior to his departure and is well underway. As well, Paul Cadman, APAC President, is no longer with the company. We thank Paul for his contributions during his time at Canada Goose. While we actively replace these roles, we remain confident in the strong leadership team at Canada Goose who will actively manage these areas in the interim.
