Nol Gerritse, former group product manager at Colgate-Palmolive, joined Keen Europe last week as its marketing manager for all of Europe. He replaces Dewi Ingrasin, who left the outdoor footwear company for Starbucks. Gerritse lists 11 outdoor and snow sports among his activities, and he is already familiar with the sports business as a former European apparel sales analyst at Nike. Separately, Keen has appointed XXL as its new French agent after the abrupt termination of its agreement with GPG last year. The company already deals with Arc’teryx, Black Diamond and Five Ten.
