ECCO appointed Stefan Guest and Thomas Maymann to the key positions of Lead Footwear Designer and Technical Product Manager, respectively, within its global Golf Division. In these new positions, Guest and Maymann will work closely with other senior team members, including Michael Waack, ECCO's Head of Global Golf, at company headquarters in Tønder, Denmark.


Guest will be responsible for the design and development for the golf collection, from concept through finished product. Most recently, the 27-year-old Englishman who holds a Masters in Design from Coventry University spent two years as Footwear Designer/Developer for ECCO's Performance Shoe Division. He also previously served as Product/Concept Designer at LEGO Group.


In his new position, Maymann will ensure continued technical innovation that maintains and advances the brand's comfort, quality and performance characteristics. The 38-year-old native of Denmark began his career with ECCO in 1997 as Leather Inspector and most recently served for five years as Golf Division Product Manager.


“The experience, creativity and passion for the brand that Stefan and Thomas share make them a tremendous asset to our golf team,” says Andreas Wortmann, Executive Vice President, Branding and Products. “Their desire to push the envelope in all aspects of design and technical innovation is in line with our mission to produce the highest quality golf shoes for the luxury market.”
