Susie Kuhn out as Active Group president at Wolverine as company eliminates role. Kuhn has served in the role since October 2024. September 22, 2026, 10:56am Wolverine Worldwide has made a major change to its executive leadership. In a surprise move, the Michigan-based footwear company disclosed in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday that it had eliminated the Active Group president position. As a result, Susie Kuhn, who held the role since 2024, left the company on Sept. 21. A Wolverine Worldwide spokesperson added in a statement to FN on Tuesday morning that the move comes as the company "continues its transformation and evolution." You May also Like. Moving forward, the leaders of all of the company's Active Group brands - which include Chaco, Merrell, Saucony and Sweaty Betty - will report to Chris Hufnagel, Wolverine Worldwide's president and chief executive officer. "We appreciate her contributions and wish her the very best," the spokesperson added. Kuhn joined Wolverine Worldwide in October 2024 as president of the Active Group. She brought over 25 years of global brand-building experience in the footwear, apparel, and retail industries - including senior leadership roles at Foot Locker, Nike, Converse and URBN. Before joining Wolverine, Kuhn most recently served as Foot Locker's president of Europe, Middle East and Africa, where she had full responsibility for brand strategy and operational performance. Upon her exit from the company, a Wolverine spokesperson confirmed to FN that its Work Group leadership structure will remain intact for now, with Justin Cupps leading the division as president. Wolverine Worldwide first created the group operating structures in 2022, which saw it rearrange its brand portfolio into the Active, Work, and Lifestyle Groups, to better leverage common product and consumer categories. At the time, Hufnagel served as the first president of the Active Group before he rose to the position of company president in May 2023, and then CEO just a few months later. The Lifestyle Group has since been dissolved when its brands, Sperry and Keds, were sold. Wolverine Worldwide has achieved a successful turnaround after years of slowing sales. Indeed, the turnaround's success is what led to the company to score FN's Company of the Year award at the 2025 FNAAs. In its most recent second quarter earnings issued last month, the company saw net income rise 7.6 percent to $31.2 million, or 37 cents a diluted share, from $26.8 million, or 32 cents, in the same year-ago period. On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings per share came in at 40 cents. Revenue was up 6.8 percent to $506.4 million from $474.2 million. The company said that its Active Group posted a 9.3 percent gain in revenue to $388.4 million for the quarter, while its Work Group was down 1.6 percent to $105.8 percent.

Nobull taps Foot Locker veteran Frank Bracken as company president. September 15, 2026 Nobull, the cross-training footwear brand owned by beverage entrepreneur Mike Repole and NFL Great Tom Brady, has taken another step in building out its Executive Leadership Team with the appointment of former Foot Locker executive Frank Bracken. "A seasoned global consumer and retail executive with more than 25 years of experience, he will help lead our brand into its next chapter and prepare the business for sustained growth," Nobull said in a statement on LinkedIn. Bracken joins Nobull following a 15-year career at Foot Locker, Inc., most recently serving as president where he was responsible for leadership across global retail, merchandising, marketing, digital, loyalty, and real estate operations. He was promoted to president in March 2025 and served in that capacity until the company's acquisition by Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. Prior, Nobull said his leadership experience included chief commercial officer, chief operating officer, CEO of North America, and General Manager of Foot Locker U.S., Canada, and Kids Foot Locker. Prior experience includes brand marketing stints at The Coca-Cola Company and MillerCoors, and earlier work at PwC as a consultant. Nobull said Bracken brings "a unique combination of brand, consumer, retail, and operational experience." "Together with the additions of Joe Martin as chief commercial officer and Allison Giorgio as chief marketing officer this year, Frank's extensive experience and expertise will continue to strengthen our leadership team and position the business for its next phase of growth," Nobull said. Last month, the company closed on an investment round at a $1 billion valuation. Dynasty Financial's acquisition of an approximately 3 percent stake in Nobull represented a co-investment via an SPV (special purpose vehicle) alongside Driven Capital, Repole's family office. Nobull was founded in 2015 by former Reebok executives Marcus Wilson and Michael Schaeffer and acquired in 2020 by Repole, the co-founder of beverage giants Vitaminwater (Glaceau) and BodyArmor. In 2024, Nobull merged into Brady's TB12 nutrition brand, making Brady Nobull's second-largest shareholder after Repole. Image courtesy Nobull
