In 2020, the company promoted him to vice president of creative direction, responsible for Reebok’s global design direction reporting directly to president Matt O’Toole.
“We want to sincerely thank Kerby for his many contributions to Reebok,” O’Toole said in a statement. “The positive impact he has made on the brand will be felt for years to come. We wish him the very best.”
