April 1 (Reuters) - Roger Federer-backed On Holding
said on Tuesday its co-CEO Marc Maurer has decided to
depart after 12 years with the Switzerland-based sportswear
company.
On said it will transition to a single-CEO structure, with
current co-CEO and Chief Financial Officer Martin Hoffmann
taking the helm effective July 1, 2025. Hoffmann would continue
as CFO while the company looks for a new finance head.
Maurer will stay in his role until June 30 and will continue
to advise the co-founders of the company, David Allemann and
Caspar Coppetti, as well as the board until March 2026.
Under Maurer and Hoffmann, On went public in 2021, and its
running shoes have become customer favorites, challenging rivals
and taking market share from sportswear giants such as Nike ( NKE )
and Adidas.
In March, On topped fourth-quarter sales and profit
expectations as its brand awareness initiatives helped drive
strong holiday demand for its shoes and sportswear offerings.
It has benefited from efforts to expand its product lines at
retailers such as Foot Locker and Dick's Sporting Goods, while
also doubling down on its own stores to boost sales.
