Puma appoints Indrajeet Sen as SVP of Group Sourcing

Aug 30, 2024 Germany

The German-based company has appointed Indrajeet Sen as Senior Vice President of Puma Group Sourcing. He succeeds Chief Sourcing Officer Anne-Laure Descours, who decided not to renew her board contract

In his new role, Sen will assume the responsibilities of Chief Sourcing Officer, specifically overseeing the global sourcing and development of footwear, apparel and accessories, as well as operations and sustainability, reporting to Chief Product Officer Maria Valdes. He has been with Puma since 2016, most recently as Vice President of Sourcing and Development Footwear, and previously worked as global quality manager for German footwear retailer Deichmann.

“Indy has been instrumental to our success in Footwear. He has excelled in various key roles such as adeptly managing the challenges of the COVID pandemic, diversifying our supply chain, and driving exceptional operational efficiency. Indy’s forward-thinking approach, people-first mindset, and relentless dedication to continuously challenging the status quo make him the ideal leader to spearhead our next phase of growth”, commented Arne Freundt, CEO of Puma.

He succeeds Anne-Laure Descours, who, after more than 12 years with the company and 35 years in the industry, has decided not to renew her contract in order to devote more time to her personal interests and to continue her professional focus on sustainability. In this capacity, she will continue to support Puma as an external advisor and sustainability consultant.

“I would like to thank Anne-Laure for the outstanding contributions she has made to Puma’s business over the past years, especially when it comes to successfully establishing and executing Puma’s sustainability strategy, which earned Puma international recognition and awards in this space. I look forward to continuing to work with her as our external advisor in the field of sustainability”, concluded Freundt.

With Anne-Laure’s departure at the end of 2024, the number of members of the management board will be reduced from four to three: Arne Freundt, CEO, Hubert Hinterseher, Chief Financial Officer and Maria Valdes, Chief Product Officer.
