Meehan Joins Volcom as New President of North America Region
Leading boardsports brand Volcom has created a new executive position. On Oct. 31, the company announced the appointment of Kevin Meehan as the inaugural president of Volcom’s North America region.
The company, owned by Paris-based fashion company Kering, created similar executive positions for its regions in Europe, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
In a comment from Volcom Chief Executive Officer Jason Steris, Meehan is a “cross-functional operations professional with 19 years’ experience in action sports, where he has worked in strategic planning, organizational development, marketing and sales strategy, and business development.” Adding Meehan to the team provides even more firepower to drive the brand, Steris said in a company statement.
Meehan most recently served as general manager at Costa Mesa, Calif.–based Analog Clothing and Gravis Footwear, where he managed the brands’ global sales, design, product development and marketing, as well as operations, supply chain and logistics. He also served as senior vice president of marketing for Hurley.
