Handover Complete: Sven Voth to Leave SNIPES SE Effective May 31, 2024
Cologne, May 16, 2024 – Sven Voth, Founder and CEO of SNIPES SE until the end of 2023, will leave the company effective May 31, 2024. His departure was announced in January and will now take place as planned, albeit earlier than originally scheduled. From June onwards, Voth will join the Advisory Board of SNIPES SE and continue to support the company in an advisory capacity. Effective immediately, Dennis Schröder will assume overall responsibility for SNIPES.
Dennis Schröder, CEO of SNIPES:
The decision to make this transition now is the result of Sven having successfully completed the handover of his responsibilities. Together, we recently restructured our Buying organization, among other initiatives. Over the past few months, I have developed an even stronger connection with the company, our partners, and our employees. I am incredibly grateful for everything Sven has built and leaves behind, and I will continue to lead SNIPES with the same ambition: to be more than just a retailer.
“Leaving SNIPES earlier than originally planned is a well-considered and, above all, sensible decision. Everyone knows that SNIPES will always be an important part of my life. From opening our first sneaker store in Essen to building a multi-billion-euro company with more than 750 stores across two continents – I couldn't be prouder of what our teams and I have achieved over the past 26 years. I wish Dennis and the entire SNIPES team all the very best and look forward to supporting the company in my new advisory role," Sven Voth, Founder SNIPES.
