Under Nina’s guidance, we will enable Eastpak, JanSport, and Kipling to begin the next chapter of their individual success stories and together as a collective organisation to become the global leader in packs,” says Scabbia Guerrini.
Flood adds: “I am honoured to be leading the Global Packs organisation and to be working on the Kipling brand again. I look forward to working with the amazing team of talented people and growing our Packs business.”
