Rip Curl Restructures Leadership In Europe

Press Release: Rip Curl is making a leadership change in Europe, with longtime European CEO Wilco Prins to exit the company at the end of April.

Matthieu Lefin, Rip Curl’s head of group operations who is based in Europe, will add President of Europe to his responsibilities.

Rip Curl Group CEO Michael Daly explains that the restructuring is partly due to management consolidation and also challenges in the European market. “Matthieu has been with us for nearly 10 years now and has worked closely with Wilco for many years so we are expecting a smooth transition,” he said.
