Matthew Barnes must reposition Foot Locker now that the sneaker stores have been taken over by Dick’s Sporting Goods. The new CEO will start on December 3.
Turnaround
Barnes will be in charge of all activities outside North America, including stores, e-commerce, and licensing partners in Europe, Asia, and Australia. He will report directly to Ed Stack, executive chairman of Dick’s. The appointment follows Dick’s acquisition of Foot Locker in September and marks a new phase in the sports retailer’s international restructuring.
