Changes at Sanuk

Sanuk Chief Operating Officer and industry veteran John Vance is no longer with the company, a Deckers Outdoor Corporation spokeswoman confirmed this morning.

John worked for Sanuk for eight years and helped oversee its rapid growth.

Deckers’ acquisition of Sanuk closed in early July.

I asked if someone was replacing John, and the spokesperson, Errin Cecil-Smith, said she will let us know when the company makes additional staffing changes.
