“Jonathan is an accomplished business leader and seasoned financial executive. His extensive experience with luxury brands and direct-to-consumer operations will be invaluable as we continue to bring more Canada Goose to the world,” said Dani Reiss, President & Chief Executive Officer. “I am extremely grateful for John Black’s contributions over the past 4 and a half years.
