“Moose Knuckles Canada is one of the most forward-thinking outerwear brands today and I’m pleased by the opportunity to lead the Asia Pacific team,” added Tosello. “It’s exciting to see the brand gaining momentum and I look forward to seeing the consumer reaction as we bring our unique blend of craftsmanship, and fashion to consumers across China and the Asia Pacific region.”
