Under Armour announces departure of COO/CFO
The US-based company has announced that Brad Dickerson will be stepping down to pursue another professional opportunity outside of the athletic performance industry. The leaving date is set for early 2016
Mr. Dickerson has been with Under Armour since 2004, serving as CFO since 2008, and more recently gaining the title of COO in early 2015.

Mr. Dickerson will remain with Under Armour until February 2016 in order to ensure a smooth transition of leadership and responsibilities, and will continue to serve in his current roles while Under Armour conducts an external search for a new CFO. The new CFO will report directly to Kevin Plank, Under Armour's Founder and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Under Armour expects to allocate key operational duties of the COO role to the new CFO and the current executive leadership team as part of the transition process.

"I want to take this opportunity to recognize Brad's accomplishments and to thank him for his many contributions at Under Armour", said Mr. Plank, adding: "During his time at Under Armour, Brad has played an integral role in providing value for the company by building a strong team and demonstrating a core competency of accelerating growth, taking the company from pre-IPO to a multi-billion dollar global business."

"I am extremely proud of being part of this dynamic brand, specifically in driving explosive growth to nearly 4 billion US dollars in revenue this year and laying the foundation for 7.5 billion US dollars  in revenue by 2018", stated Mr. Dickerson, adding: "Over the last 11 years, Under Armour has enabled me to develop many competencies, including helping an early stage company accelerate growth, and I am excited to utilize this expertise in the near future. I look forward to seeing the many great things to come from this brand and will focus on helping to secure and transition a world-class CFO."
