Under Armour has appointed Shawn Curran, who has spent over 30 years at Gap Inc, as its new Chief Supply Chain Officer.
Curran held many positions at Gap Inc during the course of his career, including Chief Operating Officer and Head of Global Supply Chain for all seven Gap Inc brands. He most recently served as COO of Old Navy, where he handled over 44,000 employees across 1,200 stores and oversaw end-to-end operations, inventory, and procurement.
Curran will supervise end-to-end planning, product procurement, production, and quality, as well as “global vendor base management”, distribution, logistics, global customs and trade, warehousing, and sustainability in his new post at Under Armour.
Stephanie Linnartz, President and CEO at Under Armour, said, “Shawn is a retail industry powerhouse who comes to Under Armour at this critical time.”
Curran added, “It is an honour to be part of Under Armour, an iconic brand born out of a passion and maniacal focus on making innovative products that empower people to achieve their goals.”
Last month saw Under Armour secure John Varvatos as its Chief Design Officer, having already started consulting for the brand earlier this year.
