Deckers Outdoor has announced the appointment of two senior executives who will work on the continued expansion of the company's omni-channel infrastructure and resources. Brad Willis has been appointed senior vice president, information technology. He was previously chief information officer and vice president of information technology at West Marine, where he was responsible for the evolution and maintenance of the company's major application platforms. Prior to joining West Marine, he had over 15 years of retail IT experience working in the LVMH group. Reporting to the company's chief operating officer, Willis will focus on strengthening Deckers's ability to integrate and streamline product sourcing and distribution across all channels. John Kalinich has been promoted to senior vice president, omni-channel operations and e-commerce, DTC. Kalinich previously served as vice president of consumer direct. In that role, he pioneered e-commerce within the company's wholesale structure. He will be instrumental in supporting the continued growth of Deckers' e-commerce operations, which grew nearly 30 percent in 2013 and contributed just over 10 percent of the company's revenues.
