Michael Kadous, North America’s senior director and GM for Adidas Outdoor, Terrex and Five Ten since March 2019, exited the brand. He announced his departure from the company on his LinkedIn account.
“Today is a bittersweet moment as I announce my departure from Adidas and Terrex. A place that has been my professional home for the past remarkable seven years,” Kadous wrote in part.
“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities and experiences that Adidas has provided me,” Kadous continued. “Most recently, I had the honor of leading the charge for Terrex and Five Ten in the North American market. Starting as employee one and having the rare privilege to build and nurture an amazingly talented team has been a highlight in my career. Together, we achieved milestones, created a strong presence in the market, and built a brand that is disrupting the Outdoor industry. I am immensely proud of what we accomplished as a team and will continue to cheer and root them on from a far.”
Kadous joined Adidas in 2010. His previous roles at Adidas included senior director of global transformation, Adidas Outdoor, Terrex and Five Ten;
senior director of global brand finance, Adidas Outdoor, Terrex and Five Ten, Heart Beat Sports and Golf; director of global finance, sales, margin and integrated business planning; and managing director of Europe, digital commerce.
Before joining Adidas, Kadous worked for Old Navy.
