Alexander Hauser is the new COO of Jack Wolfskin

Idstein, September 10, 2019 - Alexander Hauser (45) is the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Jack Wolfskin. Since September 1, 2019, he has been responsible for the IT, Warehouse, Logistics, Purchasing and Inhouse Service divisions of the leading outdoor outfitter headquartered in Idstein near Frankfurt in this newly created role. He is thus also responsible for the further integration of Jack Wolfskin's warehouse and IT landscape into the structures of the Callaway Group. In the past, Jack Wolfskin had bundled the CFO and COO responsibilities into one position. In order to best meet the expanded requirements of the Callaway Group as Jack Wolfskin's new shareholder, the separation of the two areas of responsibility was announced in the summer. Since June, the new CFO of Jack Wolfskin, Ante Franicevic, had taken over the duties of the COO on an interim basis until Alexander Hauser joined the company.

Melody Harris-Jensbach, CEO of Jack Wolfskin, said: "Alexander Hauser has extensive experience in his new areas of responsibility, which are of key importance for the further development of our business. We are very pleased to have gained a COO for Jack Wolfskin in Alexander Hauser, with whom we also know that the comprehensive tasks for our integration into the Callaway Group are in the best hands. I am convinced that Alexander Hauser, with his experience and know-how, can make an important contribution to the future success of Jack Wolfskin."

Alexander Hauser joined Jack Wolfskin from his position as CIO at the Beeline Group, one of the largest international suppliers of fashion jewelry. He has more than 20 years of experience in the IT industry and has managed extensive projects in the areas of supply chain, logistics and sales or e-commerce. Before joining the Beeline Group, he spent seven years with the Otto Group, where he held senior positions in areas of IT.
