Henrik joined McArthurGlen in September 2007 to take up the newly-created role of Regional Director UK, a central element of the company's new organisational structure that was introduced at the end of 2006 and the creation of three regional divisions: UK, Northern Europe and Southern Europe. The revised structure was created as a vital progression to maximise the company's opportunities for increased efficiency and support its strong growth strategy. As Regional Director UK, Henrik holds responsibility for the performance of McArthurGlen's seven UK outlet centres across England, Scotland and Wales.
Danish-born Henrik joined McArthurGlen from his role as Senior Vice President at Kenneth Cole Productions. He has an extensive background in the international fashion arena and his previous roles have included Brand Director at IPI Spa Italia for the global launch of Miu Miu, senior executive at French connection Group Ltd and Divisional Chief Executive at Kasper Europe Ltd (Jones Apparel Group).
Henrik conveys an exceptional holistic understanding of how to maximise leverage of brand strengths; a quality that is vital in addressing the needs of the McArthurGlen's brand partners in the UK. His ability to anticipate opportunities for maximising short and medium term growth and to deliver real improvement in performance are vital elements in McArthurGlen's plans for raised perfomance and dramatic growth over the next five years.
