A major change for Lee. After seven years at the brand's helm in Europe and internationally, Gilles Laumonier is no longer President in charge of international business for the denim label belonging to VF Corp. Although the US group's communications department does not wish to comment on the news, reported by Sportswear.com, we have received confirmation of Laumonier's departure.

The executive left the company at the beginning of summer, a few weeks after the departure of Simon Fisher, who was in charge of sales in the EMEA region and also joined Lee in 2009.

As a result, Peter Kats, in charge of Van's European sales since 2013, took over for Lee in the EMEA region.
