Genesco sets leadership change at Schuh.

Genesco sets leadership change at Schuh. July 27, 2026 Genesco has appointed Tomas Petersson, who formerly led Foot Locker EMEA, as president of its UK-based Schuh banner. Petersson succeeds Colin Temple, who is retiring after a 38-year tenure with the company. Most recently, Petersson, shown right, was Foot Locker's senior vice president and general manager, EMEA, leading the company's largest international business. Previously, he held other senior leadership positions at Foot Locker, including global general manager of Atmos, the company's premium sneaker business, and vice president and general manager, Asia for Foot Locker. Prior to Foot Locker, Petersson served as chief commercial officer and executive board member at Intersport Sweden and held several international roles at Puma. Petersson will join Schuh in late July and work closely alongside Temple over the coming months to ensure a seamless transition. "I am honored to join Schuh and the Genesco family at such an exciting time. I would like to thank Andy Gray and the leadership team for the opportunity and the confidence they have placed in me. Colin and the team have built an outstanding business with a unique culture, exceptional people and strong brand partnerships," said Petersson. "I look forward to building on that foundation, accelerating growth, strengthening our footwear strategy, and delivering an even better experience for our customers, colleagues and brand partners." Genesco said, "Temple, shown left, has been an integral part of Schuh for nearly four decades, including the last 15 years as president." Joining the business as a merchandiser in 1988, he was promoted to managing director in 2002, before being named president of Schuh. Genesco said, "Under Temple's leadership, Schuh strengthened its position as one of the U.K.'s leading footwear retailers, building market-leading omnichannel capabilities, deep and trusted brand partnerships, and a distinctive retail experience for customers. He leaves behind a business with a strong foundation, well positioned to continue growing both on the high street and online." "Colin's leadership has helped shape Schuh into one of the U.K.'s leading footwear retailers, and I want to thank him for his extraordinary contributions to the business for nearly four decades. He leaves behind a strong team, a distinctive brand and a business that is well positioned for continued success," said Andy Gray, Journeys global retail group CEO. "As we look ahead, Tomas' international experience and proven ability to grow retail businesses make him the right leader to build on that momentum while advancing our shared strategy across the Journeys Global Retail Group." "I have every confidence that Tomas is the right person to lead the business into its next chapter. Serving as Schuh president has been the privilege of my career. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved, and I want to sincerely thank the people at Schuh for their dedication, hard work and friendship," said Temple. "While I look forward to the next chapter, I leave knowing the business is in great hands and has a bright future ahead." Petersson will report directly to Gray. Journeys global retail group brings together U.S. footwear retailer Journeys with Schuh and Canada's Little Burgundy under a unified leadership structure, uniting Genesco's youth-focused footwear businesses. The change comes as Schuh has been struggling in a promotional climate in the UK. In the first quarter, same-store sales at Schuh were down 9 percent, which was partly planned as the chain prioritized full-price selling and minimized markdowns. On an analyst call, Mimi Vaughn, chairman, president and CEO, said: "The strategy resulted in higher average transaction size, but pressured store traffic." Vaughn said, "Schuh is gaining better access and more depth in brands like Adidas, Nike and Asics and expects additional progress as part of the Journeys Retail Group." Genesco also closed five unprofitable Schuh stores in the quarter. Schuh has about 110 stores in operation in the U.K. Vaughn said, "We anticipate the Schuh turnaround will take longer than Journeys due to the tougher U.K. consumer environment right now and the need to pull back from promotional activity. But with sharpened customer positioning, we see the same opportunity to serve the style-led youth girl that we saw at Journeys. We also see bigger growth opportunities for these businesses together in the future with their shared brand relationships. We put out a tactical plan for Schuh in Q4, and in time, we are confident our approach will deliver improved results." Images courtesy Genesco
