Under Armour, a leading sports brand, has announced that Jason LaRose has been named president, North America. He will succeed Matthew Mirchin, who is named the strategic advisor, global revenue, effective October, 2016. LaRose joined Under Armour in 2013 to lead its global ecommerce business and become senior vice president of Digital Revenue in 2015.

Mirchin has been with the Company since 2005, serving in a number of senior management positions in sales and marketing. Both executives have been key contributors to Under Armour's global success and will continue to work together to deliver a best-in-class consumer experience and strong results across its sales channels. During this transition period, LaRose will continue to lead the ecommerce business, while being actively involved in the search process to identify his successor.

Kevin Plank, founder and CEO of Under Armour said, “I would like to thank Matt for his strong leadership, vision, and many contributions, including leading the sales and marketing organisations at Under Armour over the last 11 years. During his time at the company, Matt has become one of our chief architects in building the Under Armour brand and telling our story around the world. I would also like to congratulate Jason on his new role, where he and Matt will continue to accelerate our footprint in North America.”

Charlie Maurath, chief revenue officer, Under Armour said, “Since joining Under Armour, Jason has been a rising star, establishing our ecommerce business globally. I am confident that he will continue to thrive as he transitions to lead our growth in the North American region with Matt by his side. I want to thank Matt for doing a tremendous job strengthening our relationships with key partners during his tenure at Under Armour.” (GK)
