Jim Salzano has been appointed president of Clarks North America. He has been in the role on an interim basis since Bob Infantino stepped down in January.

As reported, Infantino in May was appointed to run New Balance’s new company, DryDock Footwear. The independent company was created to accelerate the growth of company’s two casual-comfort footwear brands, Aravon and Dunham, as well as create new brands in the casual-comfort space.  He had led the growth of Clarks North America for the past 18 years during which Clarks grew from a small company to the leading comfort brand in North America.
