The announcement points out that “Croucher’s leadership will be instrumental in driving our direct-to-retail strategy and expanding our presence across the region.”

Croucher, whose new role will officially start on August 1st, 2025, will remain UK-based and lead the European account management team in Germany, the UK, Denmark and Nordic countries.
